Animal Welfare (AW)

Animal Welfare is an international scientific journal that publishes peer‑reviewed research, reviews, and opinion pieces on all aspects of animal welfare. Established in 1992, it has become a leading platform for disseminating knowledge on the welfare of animals in diverse contexts—whether in farms, laboratories, zoos, companion settings, or in the wild. The journal emphasizes evidence‑based approaches to understanding and improving the lives of animals, covering topics such as behavioral science, veterinary medicine, ethics, and policy. It also welcomes interdisciplinary work that bridges human behavior and animal welfare outcomes. Since adopting a gold open access model, Animal Welfare ensures that its content is freely available worldwide, enhancing accessibility for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. The journal’s continuous publication schedule means that accepted articles are published promptly online, keeping the field up to date with the latest findings. By fostering dialogue between science, ethics, and practice, Animal Welfare plays a crucial role in advancing humane treatment and welfare standards globally.
