Background:
The journals of veterinary science publish the results of research done particularly in the areas of applied medicine. Aim. To characterize the types of most frequently papers published in high-impact veterinary medicine journals indexed in Scimago, with emphasis on topic areas and titles.
Methods:
The top-twenty veterinary-medicine related journals were chosen, according to their indexed ranking as scientific journals (SJR). The article type, topic, title, and animal species treated were examined in each paper.
Results:
The highest SJR indexes of veterinary journals were within the 0.909-1.863 range. The percent of articles that include punctuation marks in the title was 40.29%. The most commonly published topics are related to viruses and parasites (34%). Pets, cats, and dogs comprise 19.7% of the papers published, though species of productive interests accounted for 43.4%.
Conclusions:
The review indicates that the journals with the highest number of citations in veterinary medicine, include a wide variety of topics and species, though infectious diseases is the topic of preference.
