Animal Welfare Policy

Al-Mustansiriyah Journal of Science upholds the highest ethical standards for the use of animals in research and experimentation. It strives to ensure that all published work adheres to best practices for animal care and use.

All animals involved in research must be treated humanely, with attention to their physical and psychological well-being. Research involving animals must comply with internationally recognized ethical principles, such as the "3Rs" (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement). Researchers must obtain all necessary licenses and approvals from ethics boards before commencing any research involving animals. Authors are required to provide detailed and transparent descriptions of how animals were handled during the study. The journal encourages researchers to consider the ethical implications of using animals in their work and to ensure that such use is scientifically and ethically justified.

Every submission involving animal research undergoes rigorous evaluation by our editorial team and peer reviewers to ensure adherence to our animal welfare policy.
