Renita W. Marshall, D.V.M., Associate Professor of Animal Science at Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center, has been selected to serve on the editorial board for the American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences (AJAV).

Marshall requested the position of editor, and later received word of her acceptance to serve as a Contributing Editor for the AJAVS's board.

"It is a great honor for us to have such a distinguished researcher as you on our board of Editors", said the publication team in the announcement letter.

In the letter, Marshall also learned that her role would be entirely different from a reviewer. She will be expected to contribute material from herself or her institution, and region in the shape of research/review articles, short communications, technical comments, and editorials in each issue.

Her duties include collecting research / review articles, evaluating and submitting them for publication. Accepted articles will be available at the Science Publications web site for unlimited data download, without any compulsory membership. Additionally, the team expects proposals for special issues and ideas from Marshall related to the journal.

Other current Board members come from diverse countries including Australia, Canada, Mexico, Norway, Slovenia, and United Arab Emirate. Further details are available online at http://www.thescipub.com/editorial_AJAVSsp
