Aims and Scope
Advances in Animal Biosciences is an associated publication to the journal animal. It aims to publish high-quality conference, symposium and workshop proceedings about animal-related aspects of the life sciences with emphasis on farmed and other managed animals. These can be in the form of a book of abstracts, summaries or complete papers. The format will highlight the title of the meeting and organisations involved but the publications will have the added advantage of forming a series under Advances in Animal Biosciences.
Subject areas can include aspects of Breeding and Genetics, Nutrition, Physiology and Functional Biology of Systems, Behaviour, Health and Welfare, Livestock Farming Systems, Human Health and Product Quality. However, due to the integrative nature of biological systems, monographs and conference proceedings dealing with the translation of basic and strategic science into the whole animal and farming system and the impact on Productivity, Product Quality, Food Security, the Environment, Climate Change and Humans will be particularly welcome.
Information for Conference Organisers
The Animal Consortium together with Cambridge University Press offers conference organisers a package that enables publication of high-quality conference, symposium and workshop proceedings about animal-related aspects of the life sciences with emphasis on farmed and other managed animals.
Summaries, abstracts or full papers may be published in Advances in Animal Biosciences and high-quality invited papers from these meetings may be submitted and published as a defined series in animal.
Conference organizers interested in publishing their proceedings should send a proposal for publication in Advances in Animal Biosciences, animal, or both journals to cko@cambridge.org with the following information:
- Title and date of conference
- Contact person/guest editor
- Number of summaries/abstracts/full papers
- Total number of pages (estimated)
- Any colour printing requirements
- Number of hard copies or USBs required and form of distribution
- Target date for publication
A decision in principle will be made regarding the suitability for publication on the basis of your proposal, and the Special Issues Editor will provide a quote and agree any specific requirements or deadlines. Manuscripts submitted to Advances in Animal Biosciences will be reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief and papers submitted to animal will be peer reviewed. If accepted after review, proceedings will be published within 12 weeks of receipt by the Publisher.
Cambridge recommends that authors have their manuscripts checked by an English language native speaker before submission; this will ensure that submissions are reviewed exclusively on academic merit. We list a number of third-party services specialising in language editing and / or translation here, and suggest that authors contact as appropriate. Use of any of these services is voluntary, and at the author's own expense.
