Use
of Animals in Photographs
-
Photographs of animals may be published when scientifically
necessary to illustrate a setup or convey the findings of the paper.
-
When a diagram is preferable to illustrate a setup, if it is
not possible to obtain a drawing, the author should describe the setup in
the methods section of the paper.
-
Photographs to convey findings may be published when the
data are conveyed in the image as in developmental biology or genetic
modifications where such photographs are standard practice.
-
With respect to other areas, the decision whether to publish
a photograph will be based upon the editor’s determination whether the
photograph is scientifically necessary.
-
The journals should avoid publishing photographs that might
be perceived as raising animal welfare concerns. For example, it is
preferable to show only the relevant portion of the animal, photographs
should not show blood or people handling the animals except close-ups
where only gloved hands are seen.
