Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association

Aims & Scope

JAAHA, the Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association, is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed scientific journal that features original studies, AAHA guidelines, review articles, and more for the small-animal veterinary community. The mission of the Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association (JAAHA) is to publish accurate, timely scientific and technical information pertaining to the practice of veterinary medicine and surgery. JAAHA is a peer-reviewed publication, with a target audience of veterinarians in clinical practice and their practice team members. Manuscripts submitted should be of value to the veterinary practitioner and the practice team, related to clinical practice, or both. Preference is given to scientific reports of original studies or retrospective studies as well as review articles. Selected unique case reports are also considered.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.

Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
