Call for Papers in Primate Research and Conservation
JP invites high-quality manuscripts that advance primate behavior, ecology, genetics, health, and conservation practice.
Journal of Primates welcomes field, laboratory, computational, and translational one-health studies with measurable scientific and practical value.
Priority is given to submissions that combine methodological rigor with clear implications for study design, conservation action, and biological interpretation.
Interdisciplinary evidence connecting behavior, ecology, genetics, veterinary health, and field-based implementation is strongly encouraged.
Conservation and Population Dynamics
Evidence on habitat pressure, demographic change, threat assessment, and intervention outcomes for species protection.
Comparative Cognition and Learning
Studies on cognition, memory, problem solving, and behavioral flexibility with robust methodological controls.
Genetics, Genomics, and Evolution
Analyses connecting genetic diversity, phylogeny, and evolutionary history to primate adaptation and resilience.
Habitat, Welfare, and Care Systems
Research on habitat quality, enrichment, welfare indicators, and husbandry strategies across settings.
Translational and Policy Evidence
Work linking primate science to one-health priorities, conservation policy, and responsible implementation pathways.
Quality Expectations
What Strong Manuscripts Demonstrate
Editorial triage prioritizes clarity, rigor, reproducibility, and practical scientific relevance.
- Clearly justified study question and design logic aligned to stated objectives.
- Transparent methods for observation, sampling, analysis, and validation workflows.
- Appropriate statistical framing and uncertainty reporting for key outcomes.
- Balanced discussion of limitations and translational boundaries.
- Complete ethics, funding, and conflict declarations where applicable.
- Consistent terminology and accurate references across all sections.
Submissions should explain how results influence study strategy, conservation planning, or evidence-based policy decisions.
Studies with strong reproducibility documentation are highly valued during review and editorial decision-making.
Submission Routes
Two Submission Methods, One Review Standard
Both routes are supported by the same editorial quality framework and review governance.
Manuscriptzone
Recommended for teams requiring structured metadata entry, revision tracking, and institution-friendly workflow control.
Simple Manuscript Submission
A lightweight route for fast intake and direct editorial routing when teams prefer a simplified process.
Pre-submission Support
Scope and formatting questions can be sent to [email protected] before upload to reduce avoidable delays.
Scope note: manuscripts outside primate relevance may be declined at triage to preserve review efficiency.
Submission Planning
Execution Notes for Higher Acceptance Readiness
Use these practical notes to improve clarity, policy alignment, and review efficiency before final upload.
Editorial planning insight: Strong papers explain how findings influence study design, conservation strategy, or policy decision pathways. This approach helps editors and reviewers evaluate the manuscript faster without sacrificing rigor.
Author workflow guidance: Endpoint hierarchy and experimental rationale should be explicit to support reviewer assessment quality. Teams that apply this step early usually reduce revision friction and protect publication timelines.
Quality acceleration note: Submissions that address reproducibility, longitudinal feasibility, or field-implementation challenges are encouraged. The same practice also improves metadata quality and downstream indexing discoverability.
Submission strategy point: Method transparency reduces avoidable revision cycles and improves editorial efficiency. It supports stronger decision transparency and more efficient peer-review communications.
Publication readiness reminder: Collaborative multi-lab studies should describe harmonization strategy for protocols and assays. This improves consistency between core manuscript sections and supporting files.
Operational recommendation: For call for papers planning, document reviewer-response changes against exact manuscript locations; state practical limitations and boundary conditions explicitly. This supports cleaner editorial decisions and faster acceptance readiness.
Reviewer-facing clarity note: For call for papers planning, confirm metadata fields and author identifiers before production lock; ensure data and code availability statements match policy language. This improves downstream indexing quality and retrieval relevance.
Production planning guidance: For call for papers planning, tighten conclusion language so claims remain proportional to data strength; ensure data and code availability statements match policy language. This improves downstream indexing quality and retrieval relevance.
Editorial planning insight: For call for papers planning, align title, abstract, and keyword language with the primary evidence claim; verify that tables, figures, and narrative statements remain consistent. This protects release schedules by reducing production-stage rework.
Author workflow guidance: For call for papers planning, map each major result to a clear methods description and reproducibility note; verify that tables, figures, and narrative statements remain consistent. This protects release schedules by reducing production-stage rework.
Quality acceleration note: For call for papers planning, separate prespecified analyses from exploratory findings in a traceable way; capture versioning notes where datasets or scripts may change over time. This increases trust for translational and evidence-synthesis readers.
Submission strategy point: For call for papers planning, synchronize figure legends, unit definitions, and supplementary references; capture versioning notes where datasets or scripts may change over time. This increases trust for translational and evidence-synthesis readers.
Publication readiness reminder: For call for papers planning, validate disclosure, funding, and ethics text before final upload; keep terminology stable across all manuscript files. This typically improves triage confidence and reviewer assignment precision.
