About the journal
Aquatic Mammals is a peer-reviewed journal sponsored by the European Association for Aquatic Mammals (EAAM), the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums (AMMPA), and the International Marine Animal Trainers’ Association (IMATA). Aquatic Mammals publishes articles related to marine mammals (whales, dolphins, seals, fur seals, sea lions, walrus, dugongs, manatees, sea otters, and polar bears). Topics of publication on both captive animals and wild marine mammals include aspects of husbandry; behavior; conservation; veterinary medicine; anatomy; physiology; training; population trends; and the effects of pollution, climate change, and noise. In addition, Aquatic Mammals has a Historical Perspectives feature, which includes essays and high definition DVDs of interviews with prominent marine mammal scientists. The journal also publishes short notes, Book Reviews, and various reports (e.g., workshop summaries, proceedings).

Instructions to Authors
Step 1. submitting a manuscript
Submit your manuscript online with Manuscript FastTrack at this link
Overview:
Papers reporting original research conducted on aquatic mammals will be considered for publication by the editors, editorial board, and appropriate reviewers based on scientific merit. Papers should not be concurrently submitted to another journal nor previously published, either wholly or in part. Each manuscript will be reviewed by two external reviewers and the editor. If there is disagreement between reviewers, the manuscript will be submitted to a third external reviewer.
Types of Contributions:
Aquatic Mammals accepts contributions formatted as full Articles, Short Notes, Reports, and Letters to the Editor. Please consult the journal's formatting guidelines when formatting your submission. Full Articles should discuss novel and important findings in the study of aquatic mammals, demonstrate sufficient methodological rigor, and provide a discussion/conclusion that is both important and justified giving the results of the study. Short Notes also adhere to general author guidelines and may include experimental results or observations involving scientifically valid methods, but where small sample sizes, or limited results do not allow for sufficient elaboration to constitute a full article. Reports include results compiled from conference or other workshops, meetings, etc. Letters to the Editor may include important announcements or comments on topics relevant to the scientific study of aquatic mammals or constructive comments related to previous contributions to Aquatic Mammals.
Consultation with the editor at an early stage of manuscript preparation is advisable when:
The subject matter makes it difficult to follow the formatting instructions
The printed paper will exceed 25 pages
More detailed directions for preparing manuscripts are required
Before submitting:
Review and revise your manuscript to fit our formatting guidelines
Note our policy on plagiarism
All submissions should contain:
Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) version of the manuscript. Do not submit a PDF version.
Cover letter: A cover letter must clearly state that the material has not been published elsewhere and the address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address of the corresponding author. It is the responsibility of the author to keep in touch with the editors about changes in contact information.
Figures and tables, which may be inserted into the manuscript (manuscript should still remain in .doc or docx format) or submitted/uploaded as separate files

If you are unable to access Manuscript Fast Track, manuscripts may be submitted by e-mail to aquaticmammals@gmail.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Authors will be able to view reviewers' and editors' comments on their manuscript by logging in to their account on the Manuscript Fast Track system. All necessary documents (e.g., format checked versions of the manuscript, edited versions of the manuscript) will be viewable to the author via the system, or sent to the author from the editor via email.
Step 2: revising a manuscript
Detailed revision requests will be sent to corresponding author by the editor via e-mail (preferred), fax or postal mail. You may be asked to incorporate changes and edits, and address questions and concerns indicated by the reviewer(s). The editor will advise as to which documents on Manuscript Fast Track need to be consulted, or will send you revision instructions directly via email. Please incorporate all changes indicated by the editor and reviewer(s). If you disagree with changes suggested by the editor or the reviewer(s), please detail your reasoning in a separate cover letter.
Changes may be made directly to the Microsoft Word version of the manuscript indicated by the editor - often the 'format checked' version available on the Manuscript Fast Track system. After making the necessary revisions, the revised manuscript may be sent directly to the editor via email. In the event that you are unable to edit a Microsoft Word version of the manuscript, mark changes onto a printed version of the manuscript and fax to the editor, or summarize changes to the manuscript by page, paragraph number, and line number and send to the editor by e-mail.
Step 3: manuscript publication
Once your revised manuscript is approved, it will be sent to the publisher, Document Publication Services (DPS), for formatting. You will receive a copy of this email message.
At DPS, Laura Caldwell ( LM-Caldwell@wiu.edu This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) will format the text and layout of figures and tables. Sandy Larimer ( S-Larimer@wiu.edu This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) will proof the formatted article and may send you questions via email.
Once formatted, you will be emailed a .pdf of the galley proofs. Please quickly review and summarize any edits or changes in an email or fax; please do not make changes directly into the .pdf. You will be able to review the revised galley proofs as many times as needed, assuming the edits are minor in nature. Any significant changes requested to the text, layout, tables, or figures at this stage will be charged a minimum fee of $55 per hour of time expended. Thus, we encourage authors to make any significant changes to their manuscript prior to submitting your revised manuscript to the editors.
If you have a short video-clip associated with your manuscript, we have the ability to place this on the Aquatic Mammals website at no charge. Please notify your managing editor of the video-clip(s) when sending your revised manuscript.
Authors will receive a .PDF of their published article for their free use in creating reprints. Reprints of whole issues or a CD with .PDF files of an issue are available as additional purchases.
If your manuscript is accepted for publication in Aquatic Mammals Journal, please be aware of the following page charges and publication fees:
75 USD to place the article online with Ingenta and ProQuest.
45 USD per black and white galley-proof page. A galley-proof page is roughly equivalent to 2.5 manuscript pages (double space, Times 12 pt font), not including figures or tables.
