History

The 2012 Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness, led to many scientists acknowledging that animals other than humans can feel subjectively and experience qualia. In response to this, in 2014, the Institute for Science and Policy decided to create a peer-reviewed journal focused on animal sentience.[7]

Animal Sentience launched in 2015;[1] its first issue appeared in 2016,[8][9] and one of its articles, which asserted that fishes feel pain, received media attention.[10][11]

Publication model

All articles accepted for publication are open to Open Peer Commentary, in which multiple researchers may submit mini-articles criticizing, clarifying, or elaborating on the article from the viewpoint of any research field relevant to its content.[2]
