Laboratory Animals (LA)

Laboratory Animals is one of the foremost international peer‑reviewed scientific journals dedicated to the study and improvement of laboratory animal science and welfare. Established in 1967, it has a long tradition of publishing high‑quality research, reviews, case reports, and perspectives that span the full spectrum of animal‑based research — from husbandry, breeding, and genetics to veterinary care, experimental procedures, refinement techniques, and ethical considerations. The journal publishes content that advances understanding of how laboratory animals are used in biomedical research while emphasizing the principles of Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement (the 3Rs) to enhance scientific validity and animal welfare. Its interdisciplinary scope engages veterinarians, animal care personnel, laboratory scientists, ethicists, and regulatory professionals worldwide, fostering dialogue and innovation that inform both practice and policy. Laboratory Animals is the official journal of the Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations (FELASA) and several national laboratory animal science groups, reflecting its global reach and influence. Published bimonthly by SAGE Publishing on behalf of Laboratory Animals Ltd., the journal combines rigorous peer review with a commitment to ethical research practices. It is indexed in major biomedical databases and serves as a vital resource for those involved in all aspects of research involving animal models.
