Journal Title：World Rabbit Science

World Rabbit Science is the official journal of the World Rabbit Science Association (WRSA). One of the main objectives of the WRSA is to encourage communication and collaboration among individuals and organisations associated with rabbit production and rabbit science in general. Subject areas include breeding, genetics, production, management, environment, health, nutrition, physiology, reproduction, behaviour, welfare, immunology, molecular biology, metabolism, processing and products.

World Rabbit Science is the only international peer-reviewed journal included in the ISI Thomson list dedicated to publish original research in the field of rabbit science. Papers or reviews of the literature submitted to World Rabbit Science must not have been published previously in an international refereed scientific journal. Previous presentations at a scientific meeting, field day reports or similar documents can be published in World Rabbit Science, but they will be also subjected to the peer-review process.

World Rabbit Science will publish papers of international relevance including original research articles, descriptions of novel techniques, contemporaryreviews and meta-analyses. Short communications will only accepted in special cases where, in the Editor's judgement, the contents are exceptionally exciting, novel or timely. Proceedings of rabbit scientific meetings and conference reports will be considered for special issues.

World Rabbit Science is published in English four times a year in a single volume. Authors may publish in World Rabbit Science regardless of the membership in the World Rabbit Science Association, even if joining the WRSA is encouraged. Views expressed in papers published in World Rabbit Science represent the opinion of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy of the WRSA or the Editor-in-Chief.

World Rabbit Science 是唯一一家列入 ISI Thomson 名单的国际同行评审期刊，致力于发表兔子科学领域的原创研究。提交给 World Rabbit Science 的论文或文献评论不得以前曾在国际评审科学期刊上发表过。以前在科学会议上的报告、实地考察报告或类似文件可以在 World Rabbit Science 上发表，但也需要经过同行评审。

World Rabbit Science 将发表具有国际意义的论文，包括原创研究文章、新技术描述、当代评论和荟萃分析。只有在编辑认为内容特别令人兴奋、新颖或及时的特殊情况下，才会接受简短的交流。兔子科学会议和会议报告的论文集将被考虑用于特殊问题。

World Rabbit Science 每年以英文出版四次，出版一卷。作者可以在 World Rabbit Science 上发表文章，无论是 World Rabbit Science Association 的成员，即使鼓励加入 WRSA。 World Rabbit Science 上发表的论文中表达的观点仅代表作者的观点，并不一定反映 WRSA 或主编的官方政策。
