What is JAVS?

JAVS (Journal for the Association of Veterinary Students) is a magazine written by vet students, for vet students! It’s produced 2-3 times a year and contains a wide variety of articles, including reports on your best EMS placements, tips for surviving exam stress and vet school, and your take on the social events of the year!

This year we want to make JAVS bigger and better than ever, so watch this space for updates on the latest features and opportunities to get involved. If you have anything that you want your fellow vet students to know about, be it within the vet community or out there in the big, wide, non-vet world, we want to hear about it!


Why write for JAVS?

Not only does JAVS provide some much needed respite in between lectures, it’s also really useful for hearing about experiences which you may not otherwise have known about. So if you’ve been off having the time of your life, or have some sound advice for the rest of us, it would be lovely for you to share it!

We’ll keep you motivated to get writing with the opportunity to win some great prizes throughout the year for best articles etc so keep an eye out for those! For those of you who might get a thrill from seeing your name in print, it’s the perfect way to get started! Most importantly, JAVS would not be the minefield of vet student knowledge that it is today without its vet student contributors!


 

How to get your article published in JAVS

 


Here at JAVS we appreciate the diversity of articles which get sent in to us from vet students all over the UK and Ireland; if you’ve got a great story, we want to read about it! Simply write your article and send it in to javseditor@hotmail.com before the deadline. If you’ve got any photos to go with your article send them in to the same email address, preferably as separate attachments (i.e. not within the article itself).

Deadlines will be made known to you by your AVS reps throughout the year. We can’t guarantee that every article which is sent in will get published, but we can keep some of them on file as they may be suitable for the following issue. Articles will be appropriately edited where needed.
