The research quality and publication of journals in any field are crucial because they show the development in the field. This study aimed to examine the research and publication ethics policies of the professional journals that continue to publish in the field of veterinary sciences and reveal the current situation. In this study, journals publishing in the field of veterinary sciences were searched through DergiPark, Web of Science database, and their websites. The features of these journals, the indexes in which they are indexed, statements about research-publication ethics, and the national and international academic institutions were gathered under appropriate headings. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques such as frequency and percentage. Moreover, 11.5% (n = 3) of the veterinary journals in Türkiye were indexed in SCI-E, 3.8% (n = 1) were indexed in E-SCI, 57.7% (n = 15) were university journals, 42.3% (n = 11) published two issues per year, and 57.7% (n = 15) of journals had publication languages as Turkish and English. Therefore, the number and quality of publications in journals in veterinary sciences have increased in recent years. They comply with “national peer-reviewed journal” criteria and the COPE and ICMJE criteria, wherein the TR index, one of the most comprehensive scanning platforms in Türkiye, has also adopted their principles in several parameters. However, there is no common standard for journals.
