《动物分类学报（英文版）》投稿

【2024年02期信息】

Sponsored by Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with China Zoological Society and Entomological Society of China, administrated by Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Aim and Scope

The journal Zoological Systematics, which was previously known as Acta Zootaxonomica Sinica, was established in 1964. It reports works on original research, reviews and comments on all aspects of systematics (taxonomy, phylogeny and classification). Taxonomic monographs, new theories and methods of systematics, morphology and biogeography will be on the priority list of publication.

Abstracting and Indexing

The journal is cited by the international retrieval organizations including "Abstract Journal", "Entomology Abstracts", "Zoological Record", "Biological Abstracts", "Cambridge Scientific Abstracts", "Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International", "Current Bibliography on Science and Technology", and all major Chinese retrieval organizations.

Submission

Manuscripts can be submitted via the website of the journal (http://www.zootax.com.cn). The authors can check the status of their manuscript through visiting the website. Generally, authors may receive comments from both reviewers and editors in two months. Submissions by email (dwfl@ioz.ac.cn) or by traditional post (see back cover) are also acceptable.

When submitting manuscripts, the corresponding author is required to offer the names and contact information of two or more potential reviewers. Authors are normally required to submit the revised manuscripts three months. To reduce the duration of the review process, authors should follow the formats of the journal.

Manuscripts submitted should not be published or accepted for publication elsewhere in other journals. Without significant contribution to systematics, agriculture, forestry or fisheries, short manuscripts with only the descriptions of a single species of invertebrates or insects, are not acceptable.

Publication

Zoological Systematics is an open access journal, with all papers published in the journal can be downloaded from the website for free (http://www.zootax.com.cn).

Page charges are required for publication in Zoological Systematics. To encourage taxonomic monographs or reviews, color plates are free for papers over 50 pages in length.

Information for Authors

The current journal is mainly focused in zoological systematics. According to Systematics Agenda 2000 (1994), systematics is the science built on the following tasks: Taxonomy—the science of discovering, describing, and classifying species or groups of species (together termed taxa); Phylogenetic analysis—the discovery of the evolutionary relationships among a group of species; and Classification—the grouping of species, ultimately on the basis of evolutionary relationships.

1  General

Manuscripts should be written in English and in either RTF or Word format. If possible, use Times New Roman 10 point font; minimize formatting by using bold and italics only where necessary; indent the beginning of all paragraphs by 4 characters. Taxonomic names must agree with the articles and recommendations of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.

hyphens "-": for words. For example: fishtail-shaped; finger-like.

n-dash "–": for ranges. For example: Leg I–III; 1977–1981; Figs 5–34.

m-dash "—": for appositions that may replace commas, colons and parentheses. For example: It is hard to recognize the Camellia fruit borer—Neoblastobasis camelliae—a new species of Blastobasidae.

Do not insert spaces when using either n-dashes or m-dashes.

2  Title, authors and affiliations

The title of the paper should be informative yet concise. Indicate higher taxonomic categories using parenthesis and list in hierarchical order (Order: Family: Subfamily 1, Subfamily 2). Place a colon “:” between different hierarchical levels and a comma "," between the same levels. Give common names to facilitate reading by non-specialists. For example: A taxonomic revision of the hawk moth genus Lapara (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae).

Give the full name of all authors and start each name with capital letters. For example: Xiaoming Wang.

The author addresses should be in italics as follows: institutional affiliation (university, institute), city, state/province (if applicable), postal code, country, E-mail. Designate one corresponding author. For example: Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100101 China, E-mail: dwfl@ioz.ac.cn.

3  Abstract

The abstract should be a concise summary of the significant content and salient conclusions of the work. Explicitly mention all taxonomic changes proposed in the paper. For example: Our analyses discovered three new taxa: taxon A, taxon B and taxon C.

From three to eight key words should follow the abstract and separate using commas. The key words should not be present in the title and abstracts.

4  Main text

The main text should include an Introduction, Materials and methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements and References. If applicable, list the Funding support before the Acknowledgements. For taxonomic works: the Materials and methods can include the deposition of specimens, methods used for drawings and photos, terminology in text, etc.

Use either simple or short compound sentences for clarity. Authors who are not native English-speakers are strongly encouraged to have their manuscript read by native speakers before submission. For taxonomic works, use complete sentences rather than the "subject+object" model in the description section of the Introduction, Diagnosis, Remarks, etc.

4.1  Number the heading levels

The following format is suggested for Zoological Systematics.

1  Introduction

2  Material and methods

3  Results/Systematics/Taxonomy

3.1  Result 1

3.1.1  …

3.1.2  …

3.2  Result 2

4  Discussion

4.2  Table

Tables should immediately follow the References. The font should be in Times New Roman and 9 point.

4.3  Figures

Figures should be in JPG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF or PNG files of publishable quality. For the review, lower-quality figures can be embedded in the Word document after the tables, if they do exist. Figures of higher quality may be required upon acceptance. Color photographs and drawings are preferred, although B&W figures are also acceptable. Softwares, such as Adobe Illustrator? or Adobe Photoshop?, can be used to clean up the background and number the figures. For the initial submission, please combine all figures into one large PDF file. Size the document to ≥575px×400px and ≥300dpi (Word size: 10 points).

In the text, refer to figures as follows: Fig. 1; Figs 2, 3. Number compound figures sequentially first from top to bottom then from left to right. Provide scales in all figures depicting morphological characters.

Figures 1–3. Adults. 1, species A; 2, species B. Scale bar = 25px.

Figure 1. Genus species. A, Habitus; B, C, male genitalia; D–F, head (D), thorax (E) and abdomen (F). Scale bar = 25px.
