Galley Proofs Reprints Disk Submission Submission Papers can be accepted from any area of primatology, including behaviour, evolutionary biology, morphology, physiology and palaeontology. However, only papers of high quality and with an extensive evolutionary or comparative perspective can be considered. Papers of more technical or factual content will only be considered if they are of unusual and immediate interest, such as discoveries of new species.
All manuscripts are subject to editorial review.
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.
