By: The Poultry Science Association, a professional scientific society representing more than 1,850 scientists, educators, researchers, and industry professionals around the world, announced the purchase of European Poultry Science, a leading peer-reviewed research journal, from Eugen Ulmer Publishing House of Stuttgart, Germany. The journal joins PSA’s family of leading international research properties, including its flagship title, Poultry Science, and the leading applied journal, The Journal of Applied Poultry Research.
PSA also announces that the journal will become an Open Access Gold publication, making research published in European Poultry Science freely available upon publication. Open access is vital to a collaborative, inclusive and transparent world of research where quality scientific contributions can be shared and built upon. The Association transitioned its family of journals to the Open Access Gold model in 2020, and submissions to Poultry Science have more than doubled since. European Poultry Science will soon be available online via ScienceDirect.com as part of the PSA’s partnership with Elsevier, the largest publisher of academic research in the world.
“PSA recognizes the importance and significance of the European Poultry Science collection,” said Martin Zuidhof, President of the Poultry Science Association. “We are excited and honored to offer this quality publishing option to poultry scientists around the world.”
For nearly 90 years, European Poultry Science has published original scientific papers, critical reviews and research reports in the whole field of poultry science. The journal has long enjoyed the official support of the German Association for Poultry Science, and PSA is committed to providing authors in Germany and around the world with the opportunity to publish their research in a highly-respected journal with a vigorous peer-review process and exceptional editorial board.
“We are excited that PSA will move our journal into the Open Access era,” said Michael Grashorn, President of the German Association of Poultry Science and a professor at the Institute of Animal Sciences at the University of Hohenheim. “PSA is an internationally-respected organisation dedicated to providing outlets for sharing and discussing the latest research in the field, and I know the journal is in good hands.”
