Journal of Poultry Science

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Poultry Science Instructions for Authors(Revised on March 27, 2026) TheJournal of Poultry Science(JPS) publishes important original research and invited reviews on all aspects of poultry science. An official publication of the Japan Poultry Science Association, JPS is an international, peer reviewed, Open Access journal. Articles report on fundamental and applied research in the areas of breeding and genetics, reproduction, nutrition and feed, anatomy and histology, physiology and behavior, environment and hygiene, and processing and products. Articles typically investigate domestic fowl, but the journal welcomes research on wild birds that addresses fundamental questions in the field of poultry science. JPS is published online. The journal is read and used by a large global audience of researchers, policy makers, and applied practitioners. The journal welcomes three manuscript types, all of which are subject to peer review. Full Papers present the most common form of articles published in the journal. They describe novel results of experiments undertaken in order to examine a novel hypothesis. The relevant background, experimental designs and methods, results and discussion should be cogently presented and structured. Research Notes are brief articles describing novel, often unexpected or unexplained experimental results that deserve immediate publication. The relevant background, experimental designs and methods, results and discussion should be cogently presented and structured in compact. The length of Research Notes should not exceed 3500 words with 1-2 figures or tables. Supplemental figures and tables are not included within these limits. The journal prefers that authors use Supplemental Data.
