About the journal
The Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association is designed for veterinarians in small animal practice. Manuscripts submitted, including research articles, should be of value to the small animal practitioner, relate to clinical practice, or both. Decisions on publication of manuscripts are based on the opinions of at least one outside reviewer and the editor. Manuscripts not conforming to these guidelines will be returned.
Providing the latest information on advancements in veterinary medicine, the Journal has been a source of practical research for more than 30 years. The Journal addresses the scientific issues its readers have deemed most significant in their practices.
Editorial submissions are reviewed by members of AAHA's distinguished 95-member peer review board, a vital link to the top minds in the profession. This double-blind process protects the identities of authors and reviewers for unbiased, top-notch articles. Presented with an abstract and citation, every article is given a clear category designation to provide a context for learning.
The Journal is published bimonthly beginning with the January/February issue. A comprehensive index appears in the November/December issue.
