ACTA VETERINARIA SCANDINAVICA

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica (ISSN 0044-605X) is an international, open-access journal in the field of veterinary science, published by BioMed Central in the United Kingdom. The journal publishes high-quality original research and reviews covering a broad spectrum of veterinary topics, including animal diseases, veterinary public health, animal health management, infectious diseases, parasitology, pharmacology, and pathology, with a particular emphasis on issues relevant to the Nordic region. Indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and typically ranked in the third or fourth quartile of the agricultural and forestry sciences category by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the journal maintains a rigorous peer-review process that ensures scientific integrity. While its impact factor has recently hovered around 2.0, reflecting a moderate but stable standing in the field, its specialized focus and regional orientation may result in a narrower readership compared to broader global veterinary journals. Consequently, Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica serves as a valuable platform for researchers dedicated to veterinary science, particularly those with interests in Nordic veterinary challenges or seeking a reputable outlet with a strong commitment to open science and methodological rigor.
