Call for Research Paper for International Journal
Dear Colleagues
Greetings!
It is our immense pleasure to ask you to submit manuscripts of your original research papers for publication
in International Journal: FishTaxa (Journal of Fish Taxonomy and Systematics).
FishTaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal launched to support free exchange of ideas and
information in systematics, phylogeny and biogeography of fishes with a preference for large taxonomic works such
as monographs, revisions and checklists.
FishTaxa considers papers on all freshwater and marine fishes both living and fossil, and especially
encourages descriptions of new fish taxa. All types of papers are considered, including theories and methods of
systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and
bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns
of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature.
FishTaxa publishes original research articles, high quality reviews and technical notes/short communication
covering all aspects of fish systematics.
The members of the FishTaxa scientific board are from well-known universities and research institutes to
ensure high-quality publications. Manuscripts are processed using an online system, ensuring efficient and timely
evaluations.
Scopes of FishTaxa includes:
Biology, systematic ichthyology, phylogeny and biogeography of fishes both freshwater and marine (living
and fossil fishes)
Taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists
Descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature
Systematics and phylogeny
Biodiversity
Biogeography/phylogeography
