Research Areas We Prioritize
We publish research that deepens scientific understanding of mammals and supports conservation outcomes.
Ecology And Population Dynamics
Habitat use, movement, population trends, and ecological interactions.
Behavior And Social Systems
Foraging, mating strategies, social structure, and communication.
Conservation And Management
Threat assessment, recovery planning, and human wildlife coexistence.
Evolution And Phylogenetics
Comparative studies, evolutionary history, and genetic diversity.
Physiology And Adaptation
Thermoregulation, energetics, and adaptation to changing environments.
Disease Ecology
Pathogens, zoonoses, and wildlife health monitoring.
Global And Species Inclusive Research
JMR values studies that represent diverse regions, ecosystems, and mammal taxa, from large carnivores to small mammals and bats. We encourage collaborations with local partners and transparent reporting of permits and community engagement.
Submissions from underrepresented regions are welcomed, and we highlight work that informs conservation priorities, habitat planning, and sustainable management.
What You Can Submit
Original Research
Empirical studies with rigorous methods and clear conservation relevance.
Systematic Reviews
Evidence syntheses that guide policy or management decisions.
Methods And Protocols
Innovative field techniques, survey designs, and analysis pipelines.
Short Communications
Concise reports of new findings or rapid conservation updates.
Themed Collections And Community Calls
We regularly publish special issues that spotlight fast moving topics such as disease spillover, rewilding outcomes, or climate resilience. Guest editors lead focused calls that bring together diverse perspectives and datasets.
If you have a compelling theme, submit a short proposal outlining the rationale, target audience, and potential contributors. The editorial office will guide timelines and promotion.
Visibility And Impact For Mammal Research
JMR delivers global open access reach, DOI assignment, and rigorous single blind peer review. Articles are formatted for discoverability and shared widely with researchers, conservation organizations, and wildlife agencies.
- Fast, constructive peer review by mammalogists and wildlife ecologists.
- Open access publishing for maximum visibility and applied use.
- Support for data sharing, transparent methods, and field reporting.
We welcome interdisciplinary teams and partnerships with conservation agencies, ensuring findings translate into measurable outcomes for biodiversity and community stewardship.
Indexing And Research Visibility
We prioritize strong metadata, clear abstracts, and keywords that match how mammal scientists search for literature. Articles are optimized for indexing services and research discovery platforms, helping your work reach academics, practitioners, and decision makers.
- Structured abstracts that surface study design and outcomes.
- Consistent keywords to improve topic level discovery.
- DOI assignment for persistent citation and reuse.

Research Integrity Matters
JMR follows established publication ethics and expects clear declarations of conflicts of interest, permits, and data availability. Transparent methods and complete reporting improve the credibility of mammal research.
- Include permits and animal welfare approvals for field or captive studies.
- Use reporting standards appropriate for ecological and wildlife studies.
- Disclose funding sources and potential conflicts of interest.
Reproducibility And Open Science
We encourage authors to deposit datasets, code, and protocols in trusted repositories whenever possible. Sharing analysis scripts and metadata improves transparency and enables reuse by conservation practitioners and policy teams.
When data are sensitive, such as locations of threatened species or private land sites, authors may provide aggregated outputs or controlled access statements. Explain any restrictions clearly so reviewers can assess the robustness of the findings.
Prepare A Strong Submission
Before submitting, confirm that your manuscript meets key requirements.
- Title and abstract reflect the species, region, and study design.
- Methods include survey effort, sampling details, and analysis steps.
- Figures and tables are labeled, readable, and referenced in the text.
- Data availability statement and repository links are included.
Transparent And Efficient Evaluation
Our single blind peer review focuses on methodological rigor, novelty, and relevance to mammal research. Editors aim to provide a first decision in a timely manner, and we value feedback that helps authors improve their work.
Production And Publication Support
Accepted manuscripts move into production for copyediting, formatting, and proof review. Authors receive page proofs to verify accuracy before publication. Articles are published online on a rolling basis with DOI assignment and permanent indexing.
Our team also supports promotion through journal updates and outreach, helping your research reach conservation agencies, NGOs, and academic audiences.
