Scope
Animal Behavior and Welfare aims to publish major insights into the behavior and welfare of domesticated animals and non-domesticated animals managed or impacted by humans. The section welcomes manuscripts concerned with fundamental or applied animal behavior, and studies of animal welfare addressing any of the three philosophical approaches of “naturalness”, affective states, or basic health and functioning, to contribute to the advancement of the field.Animal Behavior and Welfare welcomes submissions on work in all farm, companion, zoo and laboratory animal species and wildlife species where applicable. We particularly encourage inter-disciplinary studies and studies on the development or application of novel indicators of animal welfare. Our ultimate goal is to accelerate the progress in this research area at a critical time, as the concept and science of animal welfare continues to grow globally and we increasingly seek to use valid and reliable methods of welfare assessment in practice.

All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Animal Behavior and Welfare, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Animal Behavior and Welfare will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Veterinary Science.
