Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue entitled “Feature Papers of Ruminants 2021-2022”, which will be one of the first of a new journal, Ruminants. Ruminants is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that provides an advanced forum for any field of study that involves ruminants, including cattle, all domesticated and wild bovines, goats, sheep, giraffes, deer, gazelles, and antelopes. The journal will complete the group of international journals in the field of ruminants that we are expecting to rapidly gain in popularity and prestige.
For this Special Issue, we are seeking the submission of manuscripts from all ruminant-related fields from our international readers. In this case, well-designed studies and good datasets are required to promote the quality of, and interest in, our new journal. We welcome both original research articles and comprehensive review papers. The papers in this Special Issue will be published via our open-access platform after a thorough peer review, a process which will benefit both our authors and readers.
As evidenced by the keywords list, the fields to be included in this Special Issue have been broadened to best represent the scope of the journal, while creating more opportunities for international research contributions.
You are welcome to send short proposals for feature paper submissions to the Editorial Office ([email protected]) before submission.
We look forward to receiving your excellent work.
Prof. Dr. Brian J. Leury
Guest Editor
