Standard papers, which should normally not exceed 5,000 words, are sent to independent reviewers. Only original papers written in English, German or French are considered. We are very conscious of the need to shorten turnaround times to the minimum. In order to do so, and in fairness to other authors, we must ask authors to return revised manuscripts to us within one month of receipt of the reviewer s comments and editor s decision letter, or, in the case where resubmission is requested, two months. If this is not possible, it is essential for authors to notify us of any delay in writing, with reasons for the delay, within these time limits.
All manuscripts are subject to editorial review.
Manuscripts are received with the explicit understanding that they are not under simultaneous consideration by any other publication. Submission of an article for publication implies the transfer of the copyright from the author to the publisher upon acceptance. Accepted papers become the permanent property of Folia Primatologica and may not be reproduced by any means, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the publisher. It is the author s responsibility to obtain permission to reproduce illustrations, tables, etc. from other publications. A translation of the complete title into English and a short title for use as running head are also required.
