Pre-Submission Checklist for Mammalian Research
Ensure your manuscript meets our standards before submission. This checklist helps mammalogy researchers prepare complete submissions that expedite the peer review process.
Word (.docx) or LaTeX format with clear section headings: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion. Include species scientific names (italicized) at first mention.
High-resolution images (300 DPI minimum) in TIFF or EPS format. Maps showing study sites, population graphs, behavioral observations, or habitat photos properly labeled.
Animal care committee approval for field studies, capture protocols, or experimental research. Include permit numbers for wildlife research and specimen collection.
All co-authors have approved the manuscript. Clearly state each author's role in study design, fieldwork, data analysis, and manuscript preparation.
Disclose any financial or personal relationships that could influence your mammalian research findings or conservation recommendations.
Specify where population data, genetic sequences, or behavioral observations are deposited (GenBank, Dryad, institutional repositories) for reproducibility.
Important for Field Researchers: If your study involves endangered species, sensitive location data, or protected areas, please indicate this in your cover letter. We work with authors to balance data transparency with conservation security concerns.
Peer Review Timeline: What to Expect
Our transparent peer review process ensures your mammalian research receives thorough evaluation by experts in population ecology, conservation biology, and behavioral studies. Track your manuscript at every stage.
Submission Received
Your mammalian research manuscript is logged into our system. You receive immediate confirmation with a unique manuscript ID for tracking. Our editorial team begins initial screening.
Day 0Editor Screening
A mammalogy specialist editor reviews your manuscript for scope, scientific rigor, and adherence to ethical standards. Manuscripts are checked for completeness and appropriate methodology for wildlife research.
Days 1-3Peer Review Assignment
Your manuscript is sent to 2-3 expert reviewers with specific expertise in your research area (e.g., carnivore ecology, primate behavior, rodent population dynamics, marine mammal conservation).
Days 4-7Expert Review Period
Reviewers evaluate your study design, field methods, statistical analyses, ecological interpretations, and conservation implications. They assess data quality, species identification accuracy, and contribution to mammalogy.
Days 8-21Editorial Decision
Based on reviewer feedback, the editor makes a decision: Accept, Minor Revisions, Major Revisions, or Reject. You receive detailed comments on population methods, ecological context, and manuscript improvements.
Days 22-28Revision Submission
If revisions are requested, you address reviewer comments on methodology, data interpretation, or conservation recommendations. Submit your revised manuscript with a detailed response letter explaining changes.
Author timeline variesRe-review Process

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of mammalian research are within scope?
We publish research on all aspects of mammalogy including population dynamics, species interactions, conservation biology, behavioral ecology, habitat selection, reproductive ecology, population genetics, biogeography, and ecosystem processes involving mammals. Studies can focus on terrestrial, marine, or flying mammals across all geographic regions.
Do you accept studies on captive mammals or zoo populations?
Yes, we welcome research on captive mammal populations when it contributes to understanding behavior, reproduction, genetics, or conservation management. Studies must have clear relevance to wild population management or conservation strategies.
What are your requirements for field study permits and ethics approval?
All field research involving live mammals must have appropriate institutional animal care committee approval and relevant wildlife research permits. Include permit numbers and approval dates in your Methods section. For endangered species research, additional documentation may be required.
Can I submit a manuscript currently under review elsewhere?
No, we only consider original manuscripts not under consideration by other journals. If your manuscript was previously rejected elsewhere, you may submit it to us, but please disclose this in your cover letter and explain how you have addressed previous reviewer concerns.
How do you handle sensitive location data for endangered species?
We work with authors to protect sensitive information about threatened mammal populations. Exact coordinates can be generalized, and we support data embargoes when necessary for conservation security while maintaining scientific transparency.
What is your policy on data sharing for population studies?
We encourage authors to deposit population data, genetic sequences, and behavioral observations in appropriate repositories (GenBank, Dryad, Movebank). Raw data should be available to reviewers and readers unless conservation concerns require restricted access.
Do you charge article processing charges (APCs)?
Yes, accepted manuscripts are subject to APCs to support open access publication. However, we offer waivers for authors from low-income countries, early-career researchers, and conservation studies with demonstrated financial need. APC information is provided after acceptance.
How long should my mammalian research manuscript be?
Original research articles: up to 6,000 words; Short communications: up to 2,500 words; Reviews: up to 8,000 words. Word counts exclude abstract, references, tables, and figure legends. Contact us if your comprehensive population study requires additional length.
