Veterinary Evidence journal unveils new website
New site benefits from Editorial Manager feature to streamline the editorial process.
Features added to better support contributors and readers.

RCVS Knowledge has launched a new website for Veterinary Evidence, its peer-reviewed, open-access journal.

The website provides free access to critical summaries of the best available evidence in veterinary care – called Knowledge Summaries. These assist veterinary surgeons to make evidence-based decisions in practice.

Other features of the new website include author and reviewer hubs to support contributors through the writing and reviewing processes, and an 'answer me' button, allowing potential authors to directly email the editor of the journal with a clinical query they are interested in answering.

Editor-in-chief of Veterinary Evidence, Kit Sturgess, discussed the website: “I am really excited by the new website; its look and functionality will significantly improve rapid access to information and further boost the engagement of the veterinary team with EBVM. 

“After an impressive year for Veterinary Evidence, we have also moved to a new submission system, Editorial Manager, aimed at making the experience of submitting and reviewing papers easier and more efficient. 

“Through the new website and publishing platform, the journal can get better metrics of how well we are supporting our readers, authors, and reviewers so we can use evidence to drive Quality Improvement.”

Those who read the journal will also now receive suggestions of related articles for further reading – counting toward CPD requirements.

Head of Library and Knowledge Services Claire Boulton added: “Veterinary Evidence offers an easy way to access evidence-based content and apply it in practice, so we are delighted to help improve the experiences of all authors, reviewers and readers that engage with the journal.”

The new Veterinary Evidence website can be accessed via this link to the website homepage.
