《動(dòng)物系統(tǒng)學(xué)和進(jìn)化研究雜志》(JZSER)是一個(gè)同行評(píng)議的國(guó)際論壇，旨在發(fā)表關(guān)于系統(tǒng)動(dòng)物學(xué)和進(jìn)化生物學(xué)的高質(zhì)量研究。該雜志的目的是綜合形態(tài)學(xué)、生理學(xué)、動(dòng)物地理學(xué)、生態(tài)學(xué)、動(dòng)物行為學(xué)、進(jìn)化遺傳學(xué)、種群遺傳學(xué)、發(fā)育生物學(xué)和分子生物學(xué)的研究成果。除了實(shí)證論文外，還歡迎理論貢獻(xiàn)和評(píng)論文章。純分類和細(xì)胞遺傳學(xué)手稿將不被接受，除非在極少數(shù)情況下，然后只有在主編的自由裁量權(quán)。只接受英文論文。以下幾個(gè)方面與編輯決定是否考慮在JZSER出版稿件有關(guān):超區(qū)域相關(guān)性研究(在系統(tǒng)地理學(xué)研究中)和/或具有廣泛的系統(tǒng)相關(guān)性嗎?這項(xiàng)研究針對(duì)的是一個(gè)熱門話題，是前沿的還是有爭(zhēng)議的?它是否全面地涵蓋了一個(gè)分類群?手稿是否提供了一個(gè)一般生物學(xué)原理的例子和/或擴(kuò)展了這個(gè)原理，或提供了一個(gè)新的“扭曲”?這項(xiàng)研究是否使用了一套現(xiàn)代的方法來闡明一個(gè)生物學(xué)問題和/或一套分子遺傳標(biāo)記的使用是否足以使得出的結(jié)論?稿件是否寫得好，英語(yǔ)水平是否可以接受，是否精心準(zhǔn)備了圖表(也包括可讀性)，清晰全面地說明了相關(guān)結(jié)果?假設(shè)是否被很好地提出，結(jié)果是否在進(jìn)化的意義上得到了討論?并非所有這些標(biāo)準(zhǔn)都必須滿足，但它們有助于編輯選擇可能會(huì)引起廣大讀者興趣的論文。

The Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research (JZSER) is a peer-reviewed, international forum for publication of high-quality research on systematic zoology and evolutionary biology. The aim of the journal is to provoke a synthesis of results from morphology, physiology, animal geography, ecology, ethology, evolutionary genetics, population genetics, developmental biology and molecular biology. Besides empirical papers, theoretical contributions and review articles are welcome. Purely taxonomic and predominantly cytogenetic manuscripts will not be accepted except in rare cases, and then only at the Editors-in-Chief's discretion. Only papers in English language are accepted.The following aspects are relevant for the editors? decision whether a manuscript should be considered for publication in JZSER: Is the study of supra-regional relevance (in case of phylogeographic studies) and/or is it of broad systematic relevance? Does the study address a hot topic, is it cutting edge or controversial? Does it cover a taxonomic group comprehensively? Does the manuscript provide an example of a general biological principle and/or extends this principle or provides a new "twist" to it? Does the study use a modern set of methods to illuminate a biological problem and / or is the set of molecular genetic markers used sufficient to allow the conclusions drawn? Is the manuscript well written with an acceptable level of English and are figures and tables carefully prepared (also regarding readability) illustrating the relevant results in a clear and comprehensive way? Are the hypotheses well presented and the results discussed in an evolutionary sense? Not all of these criteria have to be fulfilled, but they help the editors to select papers that presumably will be of interest for a broad readership.
