International Association of Veterinary Editors

 

About Us

We are an organization of veterinary journal editors who have been meeting annually since 2004, in North America (2004, 2005, 2007, 2009) and in Europe (2006, 2008, 2010). The meetings are intended to bring together editors of veterinary journals from around the world for professional development and to exchange experiences, strategies, and ideas. They have been a unique opportunity for editors-in-chief, associate editors, and managing editors to meet, learn, discuss, and network with colleagues who share similar challenges and goals in veterinary editing and publication. Veterinary editors also can share questions, ideas, and information on the Veterinary Editors listserv. For more information or to update editor information for your veterinary journal, please contact Mary Christopher.
