General Information

Animal Production Science welcomes the submission of papers presenting original and significant research in the animal sciences that are within the journal´s scope. All papers are refereed, in consultation with our Editorial Board. There are no page charges for Animal Production Science.

Research articles should report research that addresses fundamental questions in the animal sciences and enhances livestock production. Descriptive and methodological studies will be assessed according to this criterion. Papers detailing robust science but with negative outcomes will be considered. In general, articles dealing with veterinary practice or the application of food technology are not considered. 

When preparing a paper for publication, please follow journal style and layout as closely as possible. Guidelines are set out in the Author Instructions.

Reprints

Reprints can be ordered prior to publication. An order form is sent to the corresponding author with final page proofs.

CSIRO Publishing supplies the corresponding authors with a free PDF of their paper upon publication. Authors may also order hardcopy reprints of their papers at the time they complete author corrections. All papers are also available from our website either by subscription or sale of individual papers. Note: the use of the PDF is covered in the journal’s Copyright/Licence to Publish.

In summary you may:

  • Send copies to individual colleagues for non-commercial purposes
  • Print out and distribute copies to colleagues attending any conference presentation you make
  • Include the PDF in a course pack, subject to the usual copyright licensing agency arrangements.

However, you may not include the PDF on any website or on any server, including an institutional repository. You may place a pre-publication version of your work on your personal website or in your institutional repository provided that you include a link to the definitive version on the journal’s website. Please contact the Permissions Manager if you wish to use the PDF for any purpose other than those listed above.
