The International Journal of Primatology is a multidisciplinary forum devoted to the dissemination of current research in fundamental primatology. Publishing peer-reviewed, high-quality original articles which feature primates, the journal gathers laboratory and field studies from such diverse disciplines as anthropology, anatomy, ecology, ethology, paleontology, psychology, sociology, and zoology.

 

Original Research Articles address various aspects of primatology and the conservation of primates and their habitats. Articles reporting on species threatened with extinction, to raise awareness of the plight of primates.

In addition to original research papers, the International Journal of Primatology considers data descriptors, review articles, book reviews, commentaries, and brief communications. 
 

The International Journal of Primatology welcomes proposals for guest-edited Special Issues or Special Sections on a particular theme. A Special Issue is one whole issue of the journal and should include approximately 12-14 articles. A Special Section is a smaller collection of articles. Articles in a Special Issue or Section can include original research articles, reviews, commentaries and guest editorials. To propose a Special Issue, please send the following information to the Editor-in-Chief, Dr Joanna (Jo) M Setchell (joanna.setchell@durham.ac.uk):
