In the US, the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) and its enabling regulations (AWAR) cover all warm-blooded animals used for research, testing, experimentation, or exhibition. The only exceptions, made in the enabling regulations, are for two genera of rodents and for birds, bred specifically for research (meaning even those exceptions do not apply to wild birds and wild rodents of those genera) and for farm and agricultural animals. Research using animals covered by the AWA and AWAR must be reviewed and approved by an Animal Care and Use Committee (ACUC) properly constituted according to AWA and AWAR. A review of Instructions to Authors and policy statements offered by 106 journals classified by their content as containing articles that were oriented largely toward disease, ecology, or general, showed that disease-oriented journals originating in the United States and those produced by professional societies and government agencies have a higher explicit requirement for ACUC review than do disease-oriented journals produced outside the United States or those produced commercially. Journals with a general orientation that are produced outside the United States or commercially had much higher rates of requiring explicit statements for ACUC review than generally-oriented journals produced in the United States or those produced by professional societies and government agencies. Ecology journals had low rates of explicit statements for ACUC review regardless of geographic origins or sources.

《动物福利法》以及美国野生动物研究的进行和出版。

在美国，动物福利法（AWA）及其授权法规（AWAR）涵盖了用于研究，测试，实验或展览的所有温血动物。赋能法规中唯一的例外是啮齿动物和鸟类两个属，专门为研究而繁殖（这意味着即使这些例外也不适用于那些属的野生鸟类和野生啮齿动物）以及农场和农业动物。使用AWA和AWAR涵盖的动物进行的研究必须经过根据AWA和AWAR适当组成的动物护理和使用委员会（ACUC）的审查和批准。审查了106家期刊的《作者说明》和政策声明，这些期刊按其内容分类为包含的文章主要针对疾病，生态学或一般性问题，研究表明，与在美国以外地区或商业性生产的疾病导向型期刊相比，源自美国的疾病导向型期刊以及由专业协会和政府机构撰写的疾病导向型期刊对ACUC审查的明确要求更高。在美国境外或商业上生产的具有一般性倾向的期刊比在美国生产的，由专业团体和政府机构生产的具有一般性倾向的期刊具有更高的要求对ACUC进行明确声明的比率。不论地理来源或来源如何，生态学期刊对ACUC进行审查的明确陈述率均较低。
