To further enhance the quality of Veterinary Sciences and the papers published in it, under the guidance of our Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Dr. Patrick Butaye, the journal has updated and revised its aims and scope. The original scope and the updated version are listed below: 

Aims (new version):

Aims (old version):

Veterinary Sciences (ISSN: 2306-7381) is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes original research articles, reviews, communications, and short notes that are relevant to any field of veterinary sciences, including prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, disorder and injury in animals. There is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental details and/or method of study, must be provided for research articles. Articles submitted that involve subjecting animals to unnecessary pain or suffering will not be accepted, and all articles must be submitted with the necessary ethical approval (please refer to the Ethical Guidelines for more information).
