What Our Authors Say

“The [Applied Animal Science] audience is broader than that of other journals where I typically publish my work, and it includes readers from the industry in addition to scientists.”

Agustin Ríus, associate professor, UT Institute of Agriculture, University of Tennessee, USA

“[AAS is] a journal that’s regularly perused by those in the industry, more so than some of the more scientific journals. This was the right kind of audience, and the goals of the journal match up with our research objectives. So, it seemed like a natural fit.”

Courtney Daigle, assistant professor, Department of Animal Science, Texas A&M University, USA

“I was impressed by the knowledge and insightfulness of the reviewers chosen during peer review; it was obvious they were experts in this field of study.”

Bo Harstine, Director of Research, Select Sires Inc., USA
