Cambridge University Press launches new Journal in Animal Nutrition

Cambridge University Press has announced that it will publish a new online only animal nutrition journal. The new journal entitled Journal of Applied Animal Nutrition (JAAN) will join Cambridge's distinguished list in animal science and nutrition from 2012.

Journal of Applied Animal Nutrition will publish leading research in all aspects of animal feed science and nutrition in agricultural species, companion species and exotic species. Research areas covered include commercially funded research such as new product development as well as academic research. The breadth and quality of original research articles, review articles, pilot studies and data papers describing large-scale trials make the journal invaluable to practitioners, consultants and veterinarians as well as researchers in the public and private sectors.

Dr Lucy Waldron, Editor of JAAN commented: "This is an exciting new development for researchers, post graduates and commercial companies. As the majority of research is now commercially sponsored, it will allow improved access to data from research studies that involves a commercial element that is otherwise more difficult to publish. Although JAAN adheres to the traditional requirements in terms of quality of protocols, data analysis and reporting, it also allows readers to access pilot studies, which are highly useful as background information for new product development or new research directions".

STM Publishing Director Katy Christomanou added: "We are very pleased to be working with Lucy Waldron on this exciting new project which enables commercial researchers to publish research that previously did not have a vehicle. The content is directly applicable to animal producers and researchers, and the journal will serve the interests of both the academic and commercial communities by publication of high-quality peer-reviewed research on animal nutrition. Journal of Applied Animal Nutrition will be hosted on Cambridge's cutting-edge platform, Cambridge Journals Online. All articles will be handled according to the highest standards of peer review and will be subject to the high production values associated with Cambridge University Press."
