动物保护为快速出版有关动物物种及其栖息地保护的同行评议的新研究提供了一个论坛。重点是对经验或理论性质进行严格的定量研究，这些性质可能与种群、物种或社区及其保护有关。只有当单一物种的论文对保护其他物种或系统具有更广泛的明确意义时，该杂志才会发表它们。一个中心主题是发表具有广泛兴趣的重要新思想，以及促进保护的科学基础的发现。课程包括人口生物学、流行病学、进化生态学、人口遗传学、生物多样性、生物地理学、古生物学和保护经济学。该杂志是自然保护生物学家、政策制定者和学生的必读书。一项主要目标是确保经过严格的审查程序后迅速发表新的和原创的研究成果(最好在提交后6个月内)。文章应该写得通俗易懂。论文应具有广泛的兴趣，只有当研究结果具有普遍意义时，才会考虑具体或单一物种的研究。特别鼓励提出新方法的跨学科论文。编辑们特别欢迎旨在促进讨论的评论和论坛论文的建议。动物保护是出版伦理委员会的成员之一，并同意该委员会的原则。请注意，附录已不再以印刷版出版。补充材料可以以电子形式发表。

Animal Conservation provides a forum for rapid publication of novel, peer-reviewed research into the conservation of animal species and their habitats. The focus is on rigorous quantitative studies of an empirical or theoretical nature, which may relate to populations, species or communities and their conservation. The journal publishes single-species papers only when they have clear broader implications for conservation of other species or systems. A central theme is to publish important new ideas of broad interest and with findings that advance the scientific basis of conservation. Subjects covered include population biology, epidemiology, evolutionary ecology, population genetics, biodiversity, biogeography, palaeobiology and conservation economics.The journal is essential reading for conservation biologists, policy-makers and students.A principal objective is to ensure rapid publication of new and original research (ideally within 6 months of submission) following a rigorous review process. Articles should be written in a style that can be understood by the general reader. Papers should have a broad interest and specific or single-species studies will only be considered if the findings have general implications. Cross-disciplinary papers, suggesting new approaches, are particularly encouraged. Proposals for reviews and forum papers intended to promote discussion are particularly welcomed by the Editors.Animal Conservation is a member of and subscribes to the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics.Please note that Appendices are no longer published in the printed version of Animal Conservation. Supplementary material may be published in electronic form.
