The Journal of Ethology features reviews and original papers relating to all aspects of animal behavior, including traditional ethology. Papers on field, laboratory, or theoretical studies are welcomed. In contrast to many other ethological journals that prefer studies testing explicit hypotheses, the Journal of Ethology is interested both in observational studies and in experimental studies. However, the authors of observational studies are always requested to provide background information about behaviors in their study and an appropriate context to establish the scientific importance of their observation, which in turn produces fascinating hypotheses to explain the behaviors.
《动物行为学杂志》以评论和原创论文为特色，涉及动物行为的各个方面，包括传统的动物行为学。欢迎发表实地、实验室或理论研究方面的论文。与许多其他的行为学期刊相比，他们更喜欢检验明确假设的研究，《行为学杂志》对观察研究和实验研究都很感兴趣。然而，观察性研究的作者总是被要求提供研究中行为的背景信息和适当的背景，以确立其观察的科学重要性，从而产生有趣的假设来解释行为。
