Submission / How to contact the editorial office

Asian

Herpetological Research (AHR), an international journal, is published

quarterly by the Chengdu Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of

Sciences (CIB), and Science Press in cooperation with the Asiatic

Herpetological Research Society (AHRS). The scope of the journal

includes all contemporary herpetological research areas including

taxonomy, morphology, phylogeny, systematics, evolution, zoogeography,

physiology, ecology, toxicology and conservation biology of amphibians

and reptiles.

The

principal criteria of AHR for acceptance of articles for publication

are the quality and significance of the research, novelty and interest

of the work to the readership, and clarity and effectiveness of

communication. AHR welcomes submission of manuscripts from authors in

all countries of the world as one of the following article types:

Article Type

Definition

Original Article

Word limit*: ≥3000

Abstract: Preferably structured, no more than 400 words

Description:

Original articles report the results of original research that should

contribute new information to the knowledge base in the field, not just

confirm previously published work.

Review

Word limit*: ≥4000

Abstract: one-paragraph abstract and no more than 400 words

Description:

Reviews can be invited or unsolicited that should be contemporary and

comprehensive, and add information to published reviews on the same

topic.

Short Notes

Word limit*: ≤1200

Abstract: no abstract

References: No more than 10

Description: A brief point-of-view article with an emphasis on emerging new concepts, findings and theoretical frameworks.

Letter to Editor

Word limit*: ≤1200

Abstract: no abstract

References: No more than 10

Description:

A brief and timely report of a data-supported conclusion about a topic

of interest. The manuscript begins with “Dear editor,” followed by a

background explanation and the main findings of the authors.

* The main body of the text excluding the abstract, title page, tables, figure legends and references.

All

submitted manuscripts will be peer reviewed by two or more

international specialists, whose advice and suggestions will form the

basis of the editors’ final decisions. It is recommended that authors

who might not be familiar with the English language seek the advice of a

native English-speaking specialist before submission in order to ensure

that the narrative is clear, concise and written in standard English.

Manuscripts not meeting this criterion will not be accepted for review.

Molecular

data generated from research projects and submitted to AHR must also be

deposited at a recognized archive, such as GenBank, and the accession

numbers must be provided in the Results section of the manuscript.

Furthermore, holotype and secondary types of taxa described in AHR as

new to science should be deposited in national or international research

institutes.

All

manuscripts must be submitted to AHR via on-line Manuscript Submission

System (https://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/ahr). For manuscript

submission, a single file including all text, tables, figures and

references in Word Format is preferred, although attachment of separate

files in MSWord, text, jpeg, tiff or other commonly used file formats is

acceptable. If an acknowledgement by email is not received within 3–5

working days, please contact the Editorial Office.
