Aims and Scope
Animals (ISSN 2076-2615) is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes original research articles, reviews, communications, and short notes that are relevant to any field of study that involves animals, including zoology, ethnozoology, animal science, animal ethics and animal welfare. However, preference will be given to those articles that provide an understanding of animals within a larger context (i.e., the animals' interactions with the outside world, including humans). There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental details and/or method of study, must be provided for research articles. Articles submitted that involve subjecting animals to unnecessary pain or suffering will not be accepted, and all articles must be submitted with the necessary ethical approval (please refer to the Ethical Guidelines for more information).

Verified Reviews
Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.
The first SCI paper was published in three months, which is neither long nor short compared to Chinese journals. However, it is not as fast as the journals under MPI, as mentioned online. The main reason is that Reviewer A took one month to submit the review. Additionally, the time given to the authors for revisions was short, with 10 days for the first revision, 5 days for the second revision (which also required additional experiments), and 24 hours for the final proofreading. The reviewer's questions were detailed, providing suggestions on various aspects, including the proposed results and final conclusions, as well as language and experimental operation. The overall experience was good. The article was online three days after payment. That's about it.

The speed is really fast. It was rejected on the third day after submission, which is much better than other magazines, especially some domestic ones that keep you hanging for seven to eight months before rejecting you.
