Welcome to the British Journal of Canine Science

The British Journal of Canine science is a new online journal dedicated to the study of the canine family. As well as the domestic dog, scientific studies on any member of the family canidae would be accepted.
For submissions, please see the latest call for papers for the topic of discussion. A synopsis of 150 words should be emailed to us in advance, for approval. Our journal articles must be referenced in the Harvard style and use British English spelling. All articles will be considered by the editorial board.
The Annual Conference of the British Journal of Canine Science 2025 will be held on September 19th, at the Marsham Court Hotel Ball Room, Bournemouth.
We are inviting submissions for the 2025 Journal on the theme
"The interaction between humans and dogs throughout our shared history"
We intend to invite some authors to speak at the conference. We already have confirmed as speakers Anna Kelbakh who will be speaking about the influence of dog domestication on the evolution of human language in the neolithic, our editor Gavin Fraser-Gosling speaking about 'The Dog in Ancient Egypt' and Olga Chevganiuk who will be visiting us from Ukraine to update us on the latest situation with dog rescue.
In person (£80) and on-line (£40) tickets will be on sale soon, but can be reserved by emailing us now. These will sell out fast, so please email us or check back here regularly to avoid disappointment.
The BJCS is offering the opportunity for students to submit an article for consideration for publication in the 2025 journal. Successful entrants will be invited to present their work at the Annual Conference on September 19th at the Marsham Court Hotel, Bournemouth.
The contribution should be a maximum of 1500 words and should be referenced in the Harvard style. The editing process will include necessary revisions, and adjustments to font style and size.
The theme of the 2025 journal is the interaction of humans and dogs throughout their shared past. This may include evolution, genetics, the dog throughout history and current research concerning the human-dog bond. The members of the canid family which can be discussed are the wolves and domestic dogs only, unless inclusion of other canid species is incidental to the overall discussion. There is otherwise no restriction on title. Articles should be submitted by midnight on 30th April 2025, in Word Doc and pdf format, by emailing them to info@britishjournalofcaninescience.co.uk
