Canadian Journal of Zoology

Scope

The Canadian Journal of Zoology is a monthly journal reporting on primary research contributed by respected international scientists in the broad field of zoology, including behaviour, biochemistry and physiology, developmental biology, ecology, genetics, morphology and ultrastructure, parasitology and pathology, and systematics and evolution. The journal also invites experts to submit review articles on topics of current interest. The journal also accepts manuscripts written by (with or for) Indigenous Traditional Knowledge keepers to ensure the protection of Traditional Knowledge with/for/by Indigenous Peoples. As usual, not all manuscripts will automatically be published and will undergo the normal peer-review process. Submitted manuscripts examining Indigenous knowledge will have to demonstrate that the research was ethically conducted with respect of Indigenous Peoples. The submissions will have to follow these principles: (i) research has received appropriate Indigenous Research Ethics approval, (ii) true and informed consent was a priori sought before the start of the research, (iii) data were returned to the People where they belong for the protection and preservation of their Indigenous knowledge, and (iv) Indigenous Peoples have approved the submission of the manuscript.
