期刊簡介預計審稿時間： 約6.0個月

The Journal of Herpetology accepts manuscripts on all aspects on the biology of amphibians and reptiles including their behavior, conservation, ecology, morphology, physiology, and systematics, as well as herpetological education. We encourage authors to submit manuscripts that are data-driven and rigorous tests of hypotheses, or provide thorough descriptions of novel taxa (living or fossil). Topics may address theoretical issues in a thoughtful, quantitative way. Reviews and policy papers that provide new insight on the herpetological sciences are also welcome, but they must be more than simple literature reviews. These papers must have a central focus that propose a new argument for understanding a concept or a new approach for answering a question or solving a problem. Focus sections that combine papers on related topics are normally determined by the Editors. Publication in the Long-Term Perspectives section is by invitation only. Papers on captive breeding, new techniques or sampling methods, anecdotal or isolated natural history observations, geographic range extensions, and essays should be submitted to our sister journal, Herpetological Review.

《爬蟲學雜志》接受有關兩棲動物和爬行動物生物學各個方面的稿件，包括它們的行為、保護、生態學、形態學、生理學和系統學，以及爬蟲學教育。我們鼓勵作者提交以數據為依據、經過嚴格假設檢驗的稿件，或提供對新分類群（生物或化石）的詳盡描述。主題可以以深思熟慮的定量方式解決理論問題。我們也歡迎提供爬蟲學新見解的評論和政策論文，但它們必須不僅僅是簡單的文獻評論。這些論文必須有一個中心焦點，提出理解概念的新論點或回答問題或解決問題的新方法。結合相關主題論文的焦點部分通常由編輯決定。長期展望部分的出版物僅限受邀者。關于圈養繁殖、新技術或采樣方法、軼事或孤立的自然歷史觀察、地理范圍擴展和散文的論文應提交給我們的姊妹雜志《爬蟲學評論》。
