Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the development, evaluation, and implementation of alternatives to animal testing across various scientific disciplines. It examines the scientific, ethical, and regulatory aspects of replacing animal models with non-animal methodologies, including in vitro, ex vivo, and in silico approaches. The journal also explores the integration of these alternatives within broader frameworks such as One Health and One Welfare, and their application in fields like toxicology, drug development, veterinary training, and chemical safety assessment.
