REFLECTING AND LOOKING FORWARD – THE ROLE OF VETERINARY SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS IN VETERINARY RESEARCH AND MEDICINE

With this issue, we will close 2023 and it is my distinct pleasure to summarize the continued improvements of the Slovenian Veterinary Research journal we’ve made this year. To advance authors’, reviewers’, and readers’ experiences, we first updated the Open Journal System. We continuously revise and develop our instructions for authors, reviewers, and editors to streamline the pathway from submission to publication and make it easier for all. We have updated the graphical image of the journal, invited an artist to the Editorial team, and started featuring our manuscripts with illustrated artwork on the cover of the journal. With this, we want to emphasize the published work and novel discoveries, but also strengthen the interconnectedness of science and art. Furthermore, we emphasize manuscripts published in our journal or work pertinent to the discoveries on disease pathophysiology, therapy, prevention, and public health by short articles, and editorials... Refleksija in pogled naprej – vloga veterinarskih znanstvenih revij v veterinarskih raziskavah in medicini S to številko smo zaključili leto 2023 in v posebno veselje mi je opozoriti na novosti, ki smo jih opravili v tem letu. Da bi izboljšali izkušnje avtorjev, recenzentov in bralcev, smo posodobili sistem odprtega dostopa. Po potrebi prilagajamo navodila za avtorje, recenzente in urednike, vse z namenom izboljšanja postopkov do objave prispevkov.Letos smo spremenili tudi grafično podobo revije in v uredništvo povabili akademsko ilustratorko. Z njenimi ilustracijami, ki krasijo naslovnice posameznih števlk, predstavljavljamo nekatere objavljene prispevke, s čimer opozarjamo na znanstveno aktualne teme in novejša odkritja, hkrati pa krepimo povezovanje z umetnostjo. S kratkimi uvodniki večkrat izpostavljamo posamezne objavjene članke, ki obravnavajo znanstveno tematiko iz področij javnega zdravja, patofiziologije, terapije in preventive bolezni...
