Vpliv izdajanja znanstvene revije na kakovost izobraževanja, raziskovalnega dela in razvoja stroke

Veterinary medicine is at an important turning point that requires reflection on its role in the socio-political context and a careful examination of the current challenges. Key issues include the importance of developing scientific fields, disseminating new discoveries and scientific knowledge, promoting professional debate and connecting science with the wider public. Scientific journals in the field of veterinary medicine play an important role in this. In Slovenia, Slovenian Veterinary Research (SVR) fulfils this role. The journal, which is published by the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Ljubljana as part of the University of Ljubljana Press, is characterised by the publication of articles in English with summaries in Slovenian, which increases its accessibility to the national and international professional audience. On 30 September 2024, the SVR editorial team organised a workshop entitled The impact of publishing scientific journals on the quality of education, research and development of the profession in the Chamber Hall of the University of Ljubljana. The aim of the workshop was to increase the visibility of the journal, encourage authors to prepare manuscripts, improve the responsiveness of reviewers, shed light on the challenges of local publication of international scientific journals and strengthen cooperation between journals in related fields. We also discussed the importance of promoting evidence-based veterinary medicine as a central principle of professional practise and development.
