The animal family of journals is comprised of animal, animal – science proceedings, and animal – open space.
The journals are published by a Consortium of the BSAS, EAAP, and INRAE. All articles are published as Gold Open Access
animal
the international journal of animal biosciences
animal publishes the best, innovative and cutting-edge science that relates to animals (farmed or managed) used for animal production, and that is relevant to whole animal outcomes, and/or to animal management practices. Papers can be accepted from all species if they are in, or contribute knowledge to, animal production systems. Animal is essential reading for all animal scientists, stakeholders and policy makers interested in agricultural, biomedical, veterinary and environmental sciences with expected impacts on Animal Production and Productivity, Animal Welfare, Animal Health, Food Security, Environment, Climate Change, Product Quality, Human Health and Nutrition, and Sustainability of Animal Agriculture and Livestock Systems. Impacts should be of international relevance.
animal science proceedings
the international journal for conference proceedings
The journal will publish high-quality conference, symposium and workshop proceedings on aspects of the life sciences with emphasis on farmed, other managed animals, leisure and companion animals and the use of insects for animal feed and human food. These can be in the form of abstracts or one to two-page summaries or short papers. The format will highlight the title of the meeting and organisations involved but the publications will have the added advantage of being gold open access and forming a series under animal – science proceedings. This gives conferences wide exposure and the additional benefit that individual abstracts can be identified and indexes through a DOI. The conferences can be international or regional/national and publication in local languages is encouraged for local /regional conferences provided titles are also in English.
animal open space
The journal has a wider scope than the flagship animal. The journal fully embraces Open Science and its philosophy is that all carefully conducted research, the data linked to that research and the associated points of views of the authors should contribute to knowledge gain. This knowledge deserves to be rapidly published and open for further discussion from readers and the authors once published. The journal publishes articles that relate to farmed or other managed animals, leisure and companion animals and the use of insects for animal feed and human food.
