New Zealand Veterinary Journal

Profile

The New Zealand Veterinary Journal is a high-quality peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing original research findings, clinical observations, rapid communications, correspondence and review articles covering all aspects of veterinary science, animal welfare, and animal health aspects of animal science.

The Journal specialises in articles related to grazing cattle, sheep and deer and performance horses, or that are of particular relevance to the New Zealand veterinary profession, but submissions from all disciplines are welcomed.

The Journal is available in printed copy, and the complete archive (56 years of peer-reviewed veterinary science) is available ONLINE in a fully indexed and searchable format via two portals: www.sciquest.org.nz and www.ingentaconnect.com.

The New Zealand Veterinary Journal is one of the few scientific journals in the world to offer its complete archive online in a fully indexed and searchable format, making this a unique scientific resource.
