Open access publisher BioMed Central, UK, has announced that the Irish Veterinary Journal, the official journal of Veterinary Ireland, has published its first open access articles. Irish Veterinary Journal has been publishing for 65 years and has recently transferred over to BioMed Central to begin a new open access chapter in its history.
Led by Editor-in-Chief Professor Michael Doherty, the journal publishes articles on all aspects of veterinary research involving both domestic and wild species of animals, with a special emphasis on the Irish veterinary community. The journal joins BioMed Central's rapidly growing cluster of veterinary journals, including the newly re-launched Veterinary Research that commenced open access publishing in January.
The first open access articles published include a review from Dr Donagh Berry et al. on the contribution of genetic makeup to differences in resistance to many diseases affecting cattle, and research from Dr Lies Beekhuis-Gibbon et al. on a pilot study for the development, implementation, and evaluation of a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) based approach for the control of good udder health in dairy cows.
