Abstract
Publication Report of the Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences over its History of 15 Years - A Review
Highlights
March 1988 under the Editorship of Professor In K
The total number of scientific papers published in the AsianAustralasian Journal of Animal Sciences (AJAS) by Association of Animal Production Societies (AAAP) member countries during a 14-year period (1988-2001)
Editors from the rest of the AAAP member countries have reviewed slightly less than 5% of the total AJAS manuscripts
Summary
A summary report (1997-2001) on the editorial and business aspects of the AJAS is illustrated in table 4. It should be mentioned that the number of review papers increased considerably during this period and the AJAS became a SCI journal in 1997. To assist in dissemination of scientific information to those who are not able to pay for the subscription fee of the AJAS, a strong donation program to send complimentary copies of the AJAS has been initiated (mostly by Korean animal scientists) for the period of 5 years beginning in 1998 It can be seen in table 5 that 108 individual scientists and 31 libraries in AAAP regions are obtaining donated copies of the AJAS, and about the same number of complimentary copies were sent to non-AAAP regions in 2001. It should be remembered that the production cost per volume was estimated to be nearly US$ 130 indicating that the sales price of the AJAS covers approximately 50% of the actual production cost This is the reason why the publication office has asked all AAAP member countries to share the financial burden to publish the AJAS.
