Journal Title：Animal Welfare

Animal Welfare is an international scientific and technical journal. It publishes the results of peer-reviewed scientific research, technical studies and reviews relating to the welfare of kept animals (eg on farms, in laboratories, zoos and as companions) and of those in the wild whose welfare is compromised by human activities. Papers on related ethical, social, and legal issues and interdisciplinary papers will also be considered for publication. Studies that are derivative or which replicate existing publications will only be considered if they are adequately justified.

Papers will only be considered if they bring new knowledge (for research papers), new perspectives (for reviews) or develop new techniques. Papers must have the potential to improve animal welfare, and the way in which they achieve this, or are likely to do so, must be clearly specified in the section on Animal welfare implications.

Animal Welfare 是一份国际科技期刊。它发布了与饲养动物（例如在农场、实验室、动物园和作为伴侣）以及福利受到人类活动损害的野生动物福利有关的同行评议科学研究、技术研究和评论的结果。有关伦理、社会和法律问题的论文以及跨学科论文也将被考虑发表。只有在有充分理由的情况下，才会考虑衍生的或复制现有出版物的研究。

只有带来新知识（研究论文）、新观点（评论）或开发新技术的论文才会被考虑。论文必须具有改善动物福利的潜力，并且必须在动物福利影响部分明确说明他们实现这一目标或可能实现这一目标的方式。
