North-Western Journal of Zoology

《西北动物学杂志》(North-West.J.Zool.)是罗马尼亚Oradea (HCO)爬虫学俱乐部的官方动物学和动物生态学杂志。它是由一群年轻的研究人员(博士和博士生)于2005年创建的，他们认识到有必要在罗马尼亚创建一份新的同行评议的科学杂志。他们还认识到，有必要让研究人员能够以看得见的方式迅速发表他们的研究成果。自其形成以来，西北。在网上免费发表论文。North-West.J.Zool。目前每年出版两期(6月和12月)，但编辑们正在努力使每年出版的期刊数量增加到3期。此外，这将取决于提交的高质量稿件的数量。从2007年起，编辑们推出了“网上第一”，以方便更快速地显形接受稿件。North-West.J.Zool。最近被ISI报道，这是ISI在罗马尼亚唯一的生物学杂志。美国国立大学研究委员会(National University Research Council)编制了n.n.c.s.s.索引。在“A”类中，我们的期刊获得了罗马尼亚科学论坛对所有罗马尼亚生物学期刊的最高认可。《地位》杂志的这些新变化对该杂志发表的论文的质量施加了一系列进一步的责任。这一责任将体现在高质量的评审过程和论文验收后较短的发表时间。每篇论文将被发送给至少两名独立审稿人。如果审稿人之间有不一致之处，将会要求第三位审稿人对稿件进行审核。由于审查过程是一项费时耗力的工作，编辑们将通过完全尊重他们的建议来承认他们的努力。《华尔街日报》将定期列出评审人员的姓名，并在另一份备注中确认他们的工作。如果提交手稿的作者向编辑委员会推荐三位在其论文领域得到国际认可的研究人员，编辑们将不胜感激。这将有助于审查进程。建议评审人员的详细信息如下:姓名、电子邮件地址、机构和工作领域。编辑有权选择是否推荐审稿人。此外，如果编辑认为一篇论文不能发表，那么它可能会被拒绝。在准备稿件时，作者应仔细检查“作者须知”部分。

The North-Western Journal of Zoology (North-West.J.Zool.) is the official zoology and animal ecology journal of the Herpetological Club of Oradea (HCO), Romania. It was founded in 2005 by a group of young researchers (PhD and PhD candidates) that recognize the necessity to create a new peer reviewed scientific journal in Romania. They also recognized the need of giving possibility for researchers to publish their research quickly, and in visible way. Since its formation, North-West.J.Zool. make the papers published available online without fee. North-West.J.Zool. is currently published two times every year (in June and December) but the editors are working in the possibility for increasing the number of issues to three per year. This will moreover depend on the number of high quality manuscripts submitted. From 2007 the editors introduced the “online first”, to facilitate a more rapid apparition of the accepted manuscripts. North-West.J.Zool. was recently covered by ISI, by this being the only biology journal covered by ISI in Romania. C.N.C.S.I.S. (The National University Research Council) have indexed N.West.J.Zool. in the “A” category, our journal receiving by this the highest recognition from the Romanian scientific forum from all Romanian biology journals. These new changes in the journal “status” impose a series of further responsibilities regarding the quality of the papers published in this journal. This responsibility will be reflected both in the high quality review process and the short publication period after the paper acceptance. Each paper will be sent to at least two independent reviewers. If there are inconsistencies between the reviewers, a third reviewer will be asked to review the manuscript. Since the review process is a time and energy consuming work, the editors will acknowledge their effort by respecting their proposals entirely. Periodically, the journal will list the name of the reviewers, acknowledging them their work in a separate note. The editors will be grateful if the authors that submit manuscripts propose for the editorial board three internationally recognized researchers in the domain of their paper. This will facilitate the review process. The following details of the proposed reviewers should be mentioned: name, e-mail address, institution and the domain of work. The editors have the right to choose or not the proposed reviewers. Moreover, a paper may be rejected if the editors think that it is unacceptable for publication. When preparing the manuscript, the authors should check very carefully the “Instruction for authors” section.
