Journal history
Revista Acadêmica Ciência Animal is a publication of the School of Medicine and Life Sciences of the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná (PUCPR), published exclusively online and with free access.
From 2003 to 2014, under the title Revista Acadêmica: Ciências Agrárias e Ambientais (ISSN 0103-989X), the journal published research and studies in three fields of science: Animal, Agricultural and Environmental. From 2015 onwards, the editorial scope was restricted to the area of Animal Science, since the journal became associated with the Postgraduate Program in Animal Science (PPGCA). The subtitle was then changed (Revista Acadêmica: Ciência Animal - ISSN 1981-4178) and, recently, a new title and ISSN were assigned: Academic Journal of Animal Science (2596-2868).
In the last Qualis evaluation, the journal received stratification B4 in the areas of Agricultural Sciences I and Veterinary Medicine.
