Zoologia considers the following categories of papers for publication:
- research articles
- review articles
- letters to the editor
- short communications
- book reviews
- short biographies
- obituaries
- proceedings of scientific meetings
- monographs
For a manuscript to be submitted to Zoologia, it is required that: 1) all authors approved the submission; 2) the results or opinions therein are original; 3) the manuscript has not been published before, is not currently under review by other journal, and will not be submitted elsewhere unless it was rejected by Zoologia or removed from the reviewing process by written notification to the Editor-in-Chief; 4) it was prepared according to the Instructions to Authors; 5) if accepted for publication and published, the article or part of it will not be published elsewhere unless there is written permission by the Editor-in-chief; 6) the reproduction and use of articles published in Zoologia is allowed for demonstrated educational and non-commercial purposes. All remaining uses require agreement and fees will be applied when appropriate; 7) the publication and page charges and review fees are agreed upon by the authors; 8) the authors are entirely responsible for the scientific and grammatical content of the article; 9) the authors agree with additional fees whenever a revision of the English grammar is deemed necessary.
Zoologia will not publish simple occurrence notes, new records (e.g., geographic, host), distribution notes, case studies, studies based on observation of few specimens, lists of species, and similarly purely descriptive studies. Isolated species’ descriptions, depending on the significance of the study, may be considered. No commercial or political statements or positions should be presented in the manuscript. Lack of compliance with these terms will result in automatic rejection of the manuscript.
Language. The manuscript should be written exclusively in English. To avoid delays in publication, we suggest that, before it is submitted, the manuscript should be reviewed by a specialist in the field who is a native speaker. After recommendation for publication, the manuscript will be reviewed and a final revision of the language might be requested.
Sections. Systematics and evolution, Taxonomy and nomenclature, Biogeography, Morphology and physiology, Biology, Ecology, Symbiosis, Conservation, Behavior, Genetics, Applied Zoology, and fisheries.
