"Our now streamlined workflow will allow us to expedite informative veterinary research to publication and improve the experience of both our authors and readers."

Elsevier and the journal's prestigious international editorial board will be working closely together to maximize the benefits that Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia can provide to its global community of large and small animal veterinary medicine professionals, researchers, academic clinicians, practicing veterinarians, as well as the libraries that serve them. Subscribers will have access to the journal's content through Elsevier's online platforms. These offer readers enhanced features and expanded discoverability, while authors benefit from seamless and easy dissemination of their work.

"We are extremely proud to have the opportunity to add this important journal to our veterinary medicine portfolio," commented Emma Bruun, Publisher for the animal and veterinary science journal portfolio at Elsevier.
