Animal Reproduction Science publishes results from studies relating to
reproduction and
fertility in
animals. This includes both fundamental research and applied studies, including management practices that increase our understanding of the
biology and
manipulation of reproduction. Manuscripts should go into depth in the mechanisms involved in the research reported, rather than give a mere description of findings. Results and conclusions should contribute to improving the management of an animal species or population, with regard to its fertility or reproductive efficiency. Results and conclusions should contribute to improving the management of an animal species or population, with regard to its fertility or reproductive efficiency. The focus is on animals that are useful to humans including food- and fibre-producing; companion/recreational; captive; and endangered species including zoo animals, but excluding laboratory animals unless the results of the study provide new information that impacts the basic understanding of the biology or manipulation of reproduction.
The journal's scope includes the study of reproductive physiology and endocrinology, reproductive cycles, natural and artificial control of reproduction, preservation and use of gametes and embryos, pregnancy and parturition, infertility and sterility, diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.
The Editorial Board of Animal Reproduction Science has decided not to publish papers in which there is an exclusive examination of the in vitro development of oocytes and embryos; however, there will be consideration of papers that include in vitro studies where the source of the oocytes and/or development of the embryos beyond the blastocyst stage is part of the experimental design.
Submission is encouraged of manuscripts that are focused on reproduction in aquatic animals. Manuscripts focused on reproduction in insects, however, do not fit the scope of the Journal and will be rejected without peer review.
Authors with any concerns are encouraged to contact the Editor-in-Chief to enquire about the suitability of the content of their paper for submission. There are no page charges for manuscripts published in Animal Reproduction Science and publication of papers only takes place after rigorous peer review.
