Belgian Journal of Zoology

Aims & Scope

The Belgian Journal of Zoology is a diamond open access journal publishing high-quality research papers in English that are original, of broad interest and hypothesis-driven. Manuscripts on all aspects of zoology are considered, including anatomy, behaviour, developmental biology, ecology, evolution, genetics, genomics and physiology. Manuscripts on veterinary, agricultural or aquacultural topics or on human medicine are outside of the journal’s scope. The Belgian Journal of Zoology also welcomes reviews, especially from complex or poorly understood research fields in zoology. The Belgian Journal of Zoology does no longer publish purely taxonomic papers. Surveys and reports on novel or invasive animal species for Belgium are considered only if sufficient new biological or biogeographic information is included. All published papers and short notes in the Belgian Journal of Zoology are made available through this journal website. All manuscripts (including short notes) are peer reviewed by at least two referees and should be sent electronically to the editorial office at [email protected] . Please always check the Author Guidelines before submitting. The Belgian Journal of Zoology is published online only from 2017 onwards in one volume. A print-on-demand version can be purchased from the editorial office. The archive of the Belgian Journal of Zoology is available as PDF files from http://rbzs.be (2014-2016).  The volumes from 1863 to 1922 are available on the platform of the Biodiversity Heritage Library under the former names of the journal: Annales de la Société royale malacologique de Belgique (1863-1902), from https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/6205   and h ttps://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/7031 .
