Abstract: This paper was written for commemorating the start publication of Acta Veterinaria et Zootechnica Sinaca (Chinese Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, CJAVS) for 50 years. CJAVS is a publication of Chinese Association of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine (CAASVM), and is supervised by China Association for Science and Technology (CAST). As one of earliest academic journals in animal sciences and veterinary sciences, CJAVS experienced her development along with the scientific research in China, and became a main platform for academic intercommunion. Now, the journal is published monthly, and about 276 papers (the number of 2005) totaling 2570 000 characters were printed annually. The journal was elected as one of Chinese core journals and awarded several times by Beijing Municipal Bureau of Press and Publication, CAASVM, CAST, and so on. Though the achievements were excited, there were still gaps when compared with international famous journals. The author also discussed several approaches for CJAVS to compete with SCI journals, for example, bring brand consciousness, consciousness for the best, service consciousness, internationalization, network into the construction of CJAVS. We confirm that CJAVS will become first class international journal before long with the effort of leaders, scholars, readers and editors.
