Zoology

Journal Title：Zoology

Zoology is a journal devoted to experimental and comparative animal science. It presents a common forum for all scientists who take an explicitly organism oriented and integrative approach to the study of animal form, function, development and evolution.

The journal invites papers that take a comparative or experimental approach to behavior and neurobiology, functional morphology, evolution and development, ecological physiology, and cell biology. Due to the increasing realization that animals exist only within a partnership with symbionts, Zoology encourages submissions of papers focused on the analysis of holobionts or metaorganisms as associations of the macroscopic host in synergistic interdependence with numerous microbial and eukaryotic species.

The editors and the editorial board are committed to presenting science at its best. The editorial team is regularly adjusting editorial practice to the ever changing field of animal biology.

《动物学》是一本致力于实验和比较动物科学的期刊。它为所有采用明确以生物为导向和综合方法研究动物形态、功能、发育和进化的科学家提供了一个共同的论坛。

该期刊邀请采用比较或实验方法研究行为和神经生物学、功能形态学、进化和发展、生态生理学和细胞生物学的论文。由于人们越来越认识到动物只能与共生体共生，《动物学》鼓励提交专注于分析全生物或超生物的论文，因为全生物或超生物是宏观宿主与众多微生物和真核生物物种协同相互依存的关联。

编辑和编辑委员会致力于呈现最好的科学。编辑团队会定期根据不断变化的动物生物学领域调整编辑实践。

Zoology创刊于1994年，由Elsevier GmbH出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖生物 - 动物学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 12周，或约稿 约13.2周，影响因子指数1.6，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
