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.
《爬虫学杂志》接受有关两栖动物和爬行动物生物学的所有方面的手稿，包括它们的行为、保护、生态学、形态学、生理学和系统学，以及爬虫学教育。我们鼓励作者提交数据驱动和严格检验假说的手稿，或提供新分类群（活的或化石）的详尽描述。主题可能会以一种深思熟虑的、定量的方式来解决理论问题。对爬虫科学提供新见解的评论和政策论文也是受欢迎的，但它们必须不仅仅是简单的文献评论。这些论文必须有一个中心焦点，提出一个新的论点来理解一个概念，或提出一个新的方法来回答问题或解决问题。将相关主题的论文结合在一起的重点部分通常由编辑确定。长期展望部分的出版物仅限受邀者。关于圈养繁殖、新技术或取样方法、轶事或孤立的自然历史观察、地理范围扩展的论文应提交给我们的姐妹杂志《爬虫学评论》。
