Abstract
The continued success of Veterinary Pathology is due to the generous volunteer efforts of many individuals. Foremost, we appreciate the contributions of all authors who have chosen to submit their work to Veterinary Pathology and thereby advance knowledge in the discipline. We sincerely thank the editorial staff, including the section editors and photo editors, who work tirelessly and offer much wisdom and expertise on behalf of the journal. We kindly acknowledge the efforts of Wendy Coe, the staff at the Rees Group, and SAGE Publications. Finally, the contributions of peer reviewers are key to ensuring the quality of articles published in the journal.
