JASB welcomes Research, Reviews, Letters to the Editor, Meeting Report, Methodology Articles, Short reports and Study Protocol. The journal is sponsored by Chinese Association of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine. It is designed to introduce Chinese research achievements in animal science and technology to the international community, and to strengthen academic communication between China and abroad.
Open access
All articles published by Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication, without subscription charges or registration barriers. Further information about open access can be found here.
As authors of articles published in Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology you are the copyright holders of your article and have granted to any third party, in advance and in perpetuity, the right to use, reproduce or disseminate your article, according to the BioMed Central license agreement.
For those of you who are US government employees or are prevented from being copyright holders for similar reasons, BioMed Central can accommodate non-standard copyright lines. Please contact us if further information is needed.
Article-processing charges
Open access publishing is not without costs. Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology therefore levies an article-processing charge of £950/$1485/€1210 for each article accepted for publication. If the submitting author's institution is a Member, the cost of the article-processing charge is covered by the membership, and no further charge is payable. In the case of authors whose institutions are Supporter Members, however, a discounted article-processing charge is payable by the author. We routinely waive charges for authors from low-income countries. For other countries, article-processing charge waivers or discounts are granted on a case-by-case basis to authors with insufficient funds. Authors can request a waiver or discount during the submission process. For further details, see our article-processing charge page.
