EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS

Experimental Animals (ISSN 1341-1357) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly international journal published in Japan by the Japanese Association for Laboratory Animal Science, dedicated to advancing the field of laboratory animal science. The journal focuses on a comprehensive range of topics, including the biology, pathology, genetics, and behavior of experimental animals, as well as the development and application of animal models in medical research. It publishes original research articles, reviews, and technical reports, serving as a platform for disseminating high-quality scientific findings that contribute to the understanding and improvement of animal-based research methodologies. Indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), the journal holds a recognized position within the academic community, although its impact factor may be lower compared to broader medical or biological journals, suggesting that authors should carefully consider its specific standing and relevance to their research niche. While the journal maintains a solid reputation in the specialized field of experimental animal science, prospective contributors are advised to consult the latest impact factor data and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal ranking to ensure alignment with their institutional requirements and career goals.
