Impact Factor

47% increase for Animal Impact Factor. Animal has achieved an Impact Factor of 1.461, an increase of almost 50%, in only its 2nd year of being indexed by Thomson Reuters JCR®. The journal is now ranked 13/49 in the Agriculture, Dairy and Animal Science list and 34/141 in Veterinary Sciences list compared with 22/45 and 49/134 in 2008 respectively. We know how important it is for animal scientists to publish in high impact journals and we will continue in our efforts to further improve the journal's performance by publishing leading edge papers and reviews. For example last month we published the leading papers from the International Symposium on Ruminant Physiology 2009 and in March this year we published keynote papers from the BSAS conference on Climate change in Tunisia.

Animal is now the place to publish and read high quality animal science.

Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA) and the European Federation for Animal Science (EAAP) and represents a merging of the three scientific journals: Animal Science; Animal Research; Reproduction, Nutrition, Development.

animal publishes original cutting-edge research, 'hot' topics and horizon-scanning reviews on animal-related aspects of the life sciences at the molecular, cellular, organ, whole animal and production system levels.
The main subject areas include:

Animal Breeding and Genetics;
Nutrition;
Physiology and Functional Biology of Systems;
Behaviour, Health and Welfare;
Livestock Farming Systems and Environmental Impact;
Product Quality, Human Health and Well-being.

Animal models and papers dealing with the integration of research between these topics and their impact on the environment and people will be particularly welcome. The detailed scope of the journal can be found at www.animal-journal.eu/

animal was launched in January 2007 and is published by Cambridge University Press (a not-for-profit organisation). It is your journal, owned by BSAS, INRA and EAAP entirely for the benefit of scientists.
