Animal Welfare - the official journal of the Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW) – is moving to Cambridge. It will become fully open access in 2023. This move means anyone can read the research it publishes online and free of charge.
Animal Welfare supports UFAW's mission to 'discover what matters to animals, develop scientific solutions to animal-welfare problems and disseminate evidence-based animal welfare information. Already a hybrid journal – publishing both open access and subscription-only articles – its move to Cambridge in January 2023 will see it become fully open access to better further that mission.
The Journal publishes peer-reviewed scientific research, technical studies, and reviews relating to the welfare of kept animals (for example, on farms, in laboratories, zoos, and as companions) and those in the wild whose welfare is compromised by human activities.
The journal's scope includes papers on related ethical and legal issues, commentaries on topical issues, and reviews of animal welfare books.
