Biodiversity Science

Aims & Scope

Biodiversity Science is the first nationwide academic journal in China that specifically addresses the issues of biodiversity and the only one which comprehensively reports the achievements in the field of biodiversity research, aiming to enhance information exchange between Chinese and international scholars. With the development of biodiversity research in China, this journal has been ranked as one of the leading scientific journals in the field of biology. Biodiversity Science is now a bimonthly journal, publishing original research papers and reviews on a very wide range of subjects relating to biological diversity. The journal accepts papers dealing with all taxa, ranging from bacteria to plants and animals, and all types of ecosystems. Every level of ecological understanding is covered, from molecular-level, through single-species studies, to ecosystem-, biome- and global-level perspectives. Papers are published both in Chinese and in English according to international standard, with English abstract, key words, tables and figures, and table of contents. Every paper has been strictly peer-reviewed before acceptance. The audience covers environmentalists, conservationists, botanists, marine scientists, ecologists, and biologists.
