#Overview of literature at present

A Web of Science search in October 2017 reported 406 articles over a 39 year period featuring the topic name "animal welfare" AND "education". Upon review of the abstracts and text of the publications, 200 were excluded for not specifically discussing animal welfare in an educational context, .e.g they proposed furhter education would improve animal wefare, or explored the impact of education on tttitudes to animal welfare. This excluded a large number of sutdies about consumer choice behaviour with regards to animal products. Studies were retained where they explored students' perceptions of animal welfare, as participants in these studies were being recruited specifically beacause of their student role. A further three studies were excluded for being duplicate records. Excluding book reviews, news items and editorial materials, there were 188 publications from 1990
