Focus and Scope

Aims

Hasanuddin Journal of Animal Science (HAJAS) is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed journal published twice yearly by the Faculty of Animal Science, Hasanuddin University, Indonesia. The journal focuses on advancing knowledge, innovation, and practical solutions in tropical farm animal science, linking global research with the unique challenges and opportunities of livestock production systems in tropical environments. HAJAS aims to promote sustainable, climate-resilient, and welfare-oriented livestock production that supports food security and aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Types of manuscripts

Original research articles report new experimental, field, or analytical results in tropical farm animal science.
Review articles give a critical and comprehensive synthesis of a topic within the scope of the journal, with a clear contribution beyond a summary of existing literature.

Both types are subject to the same peer review and ethical standards. Word limits and structure are given in the Author Guidelines.
