Aims & Scope
animal - open space is a new publishing initiative of the animal Consortium, a collaboration between the British Society of Animal Science, the Institut National de la Recherche pour l'Agriculture, l'Alimentation et l'Environnement (INRAE) and the European Federation for Animal Science (EAAP). animal - open space is part of a family of journals including the flagship journal animal and animal - science proceedings .
The journal has a wider scope than the flagship animal .
The journal fully embraces Open Science and its philosophy is that all reproducible research, the data linked to that research and the associated points of views of the authors will contribute to knowledge gain.
Therefore, this knowledge deserves to be rapidly published and open for comments once published.
The journal publishes articles that relate to farmed or other managed animals, leisure and companion animals and that is relevant to whole animal outcomes, and/or to animal management practices.
Articles can be accepted from all species if they are in, or contribute knowledge to, the aforementioned categories (e.g., cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, horses, rabbits, fish, insects, cats, dogs).
Note- lack of novelty, negative results or lack of significant treatment differences are not a barrier for publication.
Articles presenting results using animals as model for human research are not included in the scope of animal-open space. animal - open space is essential reading for all animal scientists, stakeholders and policy makers interested in agricultural, veterinary and environmental sciences with expected impacts on animal performance and productivity, animal welfare, animal health, food security, environment, climate change, product quality, human health and nutrition, sustainability of animal agriculture, livestock systems and methodology.
Impacts can be either of local or international relevance.
