About the journal
Focus and Scope
ZooKeys is a peer-reviewed, open-access, rapidly disseminated journal launched to accelerate research and free information exchange in taxonomy, phylogeny, biogeography and evolution of animals.
ZooKeys aims to apply the latest trends and methodologies in publishing and preservation of digital materials to meet the highest possible standards of the cybertaxonomy era.
ZooKeys will publish papers in systematic zoology containing taxonomic/faunistic data on any taxon of any geological age from any part of the world with no limit to manuscript size.
ZooKeys will consider for publishing works on the following topics:
new descriptions of taxa, if they are accomplished with proper diagnoses, keys and/or revision of at least at species group level
taxonomic revisions of extant (or 'recent') and fossil animal groups
checklists and catalogues
phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses
papers in descriptive and/or historical biogeography
methodology papers
data mining and literature surveys
monographs, conspecti, atlases
collections of papers, Festschrift volumes, conference proceedings
Extensive faunistic overviews on a group in a country or larger region are welcome. Short faunistic contributions may be considered if they are based on significant or unexpected discovery. Regular faunistic contributions may eventually be published in special issues devoted to a region/country.
Papers containing identification keys will be considered for publishing with priority. Extensive manuscripts consisting mostly of keys will be considered for publishing as well.
Descriptions of single species will only be considered if they form part of a work of broader importance (e.g. key or revision of the species in a wide region; revision of the particular species group; separation of widespread cryptic species), or are of particular scientific importance (e.g. disease vector, representative of a new genus, sister-group of a large clade), or are exceptional in some respect (e.g. species in danger of extinction, large extension of the geographical range of a higher taxon).
The following categories of papers will be considered:
original research articles
reviews - longer articles, offering a comprehensive overview, historical analysis or/and future perspectives of a topic
monographs and collections of papers with no limit in size, published as 'special issues'
short communications
letters and discussion papers
book reviews
ISBN numbers will be assigned to large monographic papers (i.e., major revisions of taxa), monographs, collections of papers, Festschrift volumes, atlases, checklists, conspecti.
The journal will be published both as online and printed version. Both versions will be published on the same date in compliance with current ICZN requirements.
