PHYLLOMEDUSA

PHYLLOMEDUSA publishes original research articles, short communications and review papers concerning the whole field of Herpetology. PHYLLOMEDUSA also maintains sections for Book Reviews. Manuscripts will be considered on condition that they have not been published elsewhere or are not under consideration for publication, in whole or in part, in another journal or book. Publication in PHYLLOMEDUSA, including color pictures, is free of charge. All manuscripts are subject to peer review. This process averages 90 days. Authors receive pdf proofs before publication and 30 reprints free of charge. Full-text pdf versions of all articles are available for free download in this homepage.ScopeManuscripts must contain significant new findings of fundamental and general herpetological interest and may not be considered if they do not meet these criteria. Surveys and descriptions of new species are published only where there is sufficient new biological information or taxonomic revision also involved to render the paper of general herpetological interest. Low priority is given to confirmatory studies, works that are primarily descriptive in nature, investigations primarily of local or regional interest, techniques unless of broad application, species range extensions, and descriptions of phenomena based on scanty data.

PHYLLOMEDUSA出版关于爬虫学整个领域的原创研究文章，简短的交流和评论文章。PHYLLOMEDUSA还为书评维护部分。稿件如未在其他地方发表，或未考虑全部或部分在其他期刊或书籍上发表，将予以考虑。在美国出版，包括彩色图片，是免费的。所有稿件都要经过同行评审。这个过程平均90天。作者在出版前会收到pdf格式的样稿和30份免费再版。所有文章的全文pdf版本均可在本网页免费下载。范围手稿必须包含重要的新发现的基本和一般的爬虫学兴趣，可能不被考虑，如果他们不符合这些标准。新物种的调查和描述只有在有足够的新生物信息或分类学修订的情况下才会发表，使论文具有普遍的爬虫学意义。确认性研究、主要是描述性的工作、主要是地方性或区域性兴趣的调查、除非广泛应用的技术、物种范围的扩大和基于稀少数据的现象描述，否则不给予优先考虑。
