Aim of the Journal

The American Journal of Veterinary Sciences and Wildlife Discovery is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing knowledge in veterinary sciences, wildlife biology, conservation, and related interdisciplinary fields.

The journal provides a platform for researchers, veterinarians, academicians, conservation professionals, and practitioners to share original findings, investigate animal health challenges, and deepen understanding of wildlife and ecosystems.

TAJVSWD welcomes research concerning domestic and wild animals, including studies connecting animal, human, and environmental health. It encourages scholarship that combines scientific rigor with responsible veterinary practice, animal welfare, and conservation.

The journal aims to:

Publish reliable research that advances veterinary and wildlife sciences.
Support improvements in animal disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
Promote animal welfare and responsible research practices.
Encourage research on biodiversity, wildlife health, and conservation.
Foster interdisciplinary collaboration through a One Health perspective.
Make scientific knowledge freely accessible to a global readership.

Types of Articles Considered

TAJVSWD welcomes:

Original Research Articles: Clinical, experimental, observational, computational, and field studies presenting new findings.
Review Articles: Critical reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses that synthesize knowledge and identify research gaps.
Short Communications: Concise reports of focused findings or emerging developments.

Suitability for Publication

Submissions must address clearly defined questions, use appropriate methods, and present conclusions supported by evidence. Authors should explain the scientific contribution and relevance to veterinary practice, animal welfare, wildlife understanding, or conservation.

Clinical and experimental studies should describe animal selection, procedures, controls, outcome measures, and relevant welfare safeguards. Wildlife studies should explain sampling effort, environmental context, research permits, and measures taken to minimize disturbance.

Research involving animals, human participants, protected species, or regulated biological materials must include applicable approvals, consent, and permissions. Sensitive species-location information and confidential records must be handled responsibly.

Promotional content, unsupported claims, and routine descriptions without a substantive scientific contribution are outside the journal’s scope.

Authors should consult the Author Guidelines, Peer Review Process, and Publication Ethics pages before submitting a manuscript.
