The Journal of Veterinary Medical Science


About Journal of Veterinary Medical Science

History

The history of JVMS can be traced back to the publication of Dainipponjuikaishi in 1885 when “the Dainippon Jui Kai, 大日本獸医會” was established in Japan. It was the first Japanese society for veterinary science. Then the society was reorganized as the Japanese Society for Veterinary Sciences in 1939. Along with this reorganization, the journal started its new history. Although the title has changed slightly a few times, the volume number has been continuous since 1939. JVMS is 73 years old in 2011 and so the volume number is also 73.
