VCOT IS AVAILABLE ONLINE

 

At the beginning of 2018 the Thieme Group acquired the Schattauer publishing house. As a consequence, the management of subscriptions to the Schattauer journals was also transferred to Georg Thieme Verlag. BVOA members subscribed to VCOT can access the contents of Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology online via Thieme Connect.

 Please note that the change of access by the individual to access the journal via the Thieme connect platform will be possible at the latest with the first journal issue in 2018. Until then, you can continue to use your Schattauer platform as previously.

 Members can register their personal online access unto Thieme connect with an access code and receive access for one year each time.

The access code is renewed annually.
