RAFFLES BULLETIN OF ZOOLOGY

The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology (RBZ) is a peer-reviewed journal, which publishes high quality papers in Taxonomy, Ecology and Conservation Biology of animals from Southeast Asia and its adjacent areas.The journal aims to build up quality information on the “animal diversity” of Southeast Asia in particular. The journal will also publish papers from outside the stated geographic range that deal with material deposited in the Zoological Reference Collection (ZRC) of the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum (LKCNHM), National University of Singapore. Both descriptive and experimental papers will be considered. Similarly, both single species (except for insect taxa) and ecosystem studies will be considered for publication. Single species descriptions for insect taxa are not accepted except under strong recommendations from Editors. Manuscripts that are checklists or based on new records will no longer be accepted unless they are of significant scientific value. Papers outside the stated policy and new records of animals will only be accepted at the discretion of the Editors/Editorial Board.The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology will consist of a single volume each year. A separately numbered supplement series will be published as and when manuscripts and funding permits. From 2005, the RBZ will be converted to an online publication. As such, very few hardcopies will be printed and papers published in the RBZ will be circulated as PDF files. Papers published in the RBZ will be available for downloading via the RBZ website for research purposes.

《莱佛士动物学公报》(RBZ)是一份同行评议的期刊，发表高质量的论文，涉及东南亚及其邻近地区动物的分类学、生态学和保护生物学。该杂志旨在建立东南亚“动物多样性”的优质信息。此外，该期刊亦会发表在新加坡国立大学李光前自然历史博物馆(LKCNHM)的动物参考馆藏(ZRC)内的论文。将考虑描述性和实验性论文。同样，将考虑出版单一物种(昆虫分类群除外)和生态系统研究。昆虫分类的单一种描述不被接受，除非在编辑的强烈建议下。除非具有重要的科学价值，否则将不再接受核对表或基于新记录的手稿。除上述政策及动物新纪录外的文件，只会由编辑/编委会酌情决定是否接受。《莱佛士动物学公报》每年将由一卷组成。当手稿和资金许可时，将出版单独编号的补充丛书。从2005年起，RBZ将转换为在线出版物。因此，印刷的硬拷贝很少，在RBZ发表的论文将以PDF文件分发。发表于RBZ的论文，可于RBZ网站下载作研究用途。
