Abstract
The Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery is an international journal, and the official journal of both the International Society of Feline Medicine (isfm.net) and the American Association of Feline Practitioners (catvets.com). It is published monthly in two formats. The ‘classic’ editions (published in February, April, June, August, October and December) contain high quality original papers on all aspects of feline medicine and surgery, including relevant basic research. Manuscripts can be submitted as full papers, short communications, case series, individual case reports or letters to the editor. The ‘clinical practice’ editions (published in January. March, May, July, September and November) primarily contain commissioned opinionated review articles of direct relevance to feline clinical work, along with other relevant clinical articles such as case reports. Offers of reviews and topics for consideration should be directed to the editors, via the editorial office, jfmsclinicalpractice@isfm.net, for initial editorial approval. All submissions (including commissioned reviews and letters) are subject to peer review by the editors and selected referees. An international news section provides information about ISFM, AAFP and other feline veterinary meetings, society news, selected product and other developments, and relevant issues from other publications and meetings.
