Instructions to Authors

Submission and contacting the editorial office

All manuscripts are submitted and reviewed via the journal's Manuscript Central site. New authors should create an account prior to submitting a manuscript for consideration. Questions about submitting to the journal should be sent to the editorial office at zool@ioz.ac.cn

Language Editing Pre-submission

Language editing, if your first language is not English, to ensure that the academic content of your paper is fully understood by journal editors and reviewers is optional. Language editing does not guarantee that your manuscript will be accepted for publication.

Please note that edited manuscripts will still need to undergo peer-review by the journal.

Peer Review Process

This journal operates single-anonymised peer review, meaning that the Authors identity is known to the Editor and to the Reviewers, but that the Reviewers’ identities are known only to the Editor and are hidden from the Authors. For full details about the peer review process, see Fair editing and peer review.

All submissions to the journal are initially reviewed by one of the Editors. At this stage manuscripts may be rejected without peer review if it is felt that they are not of high enough priority or not relevant to the journal. This fast rejection process means that authors are given a quick decision and do not need to wait for the review process.

Manuscripts that are not instantly rejected are sent out for peer review, usually to three independent reviewers. Based on the feedback from these reviewers and the Editors' judgment a decision is given on the manuscript. The average time from submission to first decision is five weeks.

If a paper is not acceptable in its present form, we will pass on suggestions for revisions to the author.

Publication Ethics

Authors should observe high standards with respect to publication ethics as set out by the Commission on Publication Ethics (COPE). Falsification or fabrication of data, plagiarism, including duplicate publication of the authors' own work without proper citation, and misappropriation of the work are all unacceptable practices. Any cases of ethical misconduct are treated very seriously and will be dealt with in accordance with the COPE guidelines.

Manuscripts must be submitted exclusively to CURRENT ZOOLOGY, that is, they have not been and nor will be submitted or published elsewhere (either in whole or in part) while CURRENT ZOOLOGY is handling the manuscripts.

Experimental Ethics

When reporting animal experiments authors should indicate whether the institution's, national research council's, or any other law on the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.

Plagiarism

Manuscripts submitted may be screened with iThenticate anti-plagiarism software in an attempt to detect and prevent plagiarism. Any manuscript may be screened, especially if there is reason to suppose part or all of the text has been previously published. Prior to final acceptance any manuscript that has not already been screened may be put through iThenticate. Please see more information about iThenticate.
