The International Journal of Applied Research in Veterinary Medicine was a peer-reviewed rapid-publication journal dedicated to advancing clinical practice and scientific knowledge in veterinary medicine. Published from 2003 through 2021, the journal provided a peer-reviewed forum for original research across all veterinary specialties, with scientific rigor as its sole criterion for acceptance. Over nineteen volumes, it published work from veterinary schools, research institutions, and clinical practices worldwide.
Scope of Coverage
The journal accepted prospective and retrospective research manuscripts across the full range of veterinary medicine, including:
- Small animal medicine and surgery — internal medicine, oncology, dermatology, cardiology, and soft-tissue surgery in companion animals
- Large animal and livestock medicine — bovine, equine, ovine, and swine health, production medicine, and herd management
- Avian and exotic animal medicine — poultry health, zoological species, and companion exotics
- Anesthesiology and pain management — perioperative protocols, analgesia, and sedation across species
- Pharmacology and therapeutics — drug development, pharmacokinetics, dosing studies, and antimicrobial therapy
- Nutrition and metabolism — dietary supplementation, nutritional disease, and metabolic disorders
- Diagnostic imaging — radiography, ultrasonography, computed tomography, and advanced imaging modalities
- Reproduction and obstetrics — fertility, breeding management, neonatology, and reproductive endocrinology
- Parasitology and infectious disease — helminthology, protozoology, vector-borne disease, and emerging pathogens
- Pathophysiology and clinical research — mechanisms of disease, biomarker studies, and translational research
Rapid Review Model
The journal operated on a 90-day publication guarantee: all accepted manuscripts were published within 90 days of final acceptance. This commitment to rapid dissemination was a defining feature of the journal and drove its peer-review workflow. Reviewers were asked to return comments within two weeks and received a $100 honorarium for reviews completed within 10 working days.
Indexing
At the time of its final issue, IJARVM was indexed in Thomson Reuters Web of Science, Current Contents, CAB International, CAB Abstracts, CAB Health, EBSCO, Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory, Index Copernicus International, International Institute of Organized Research (I2OR), and Gale.
