The Canadian Journal of Zoology has introduced a new article type, Perspectives, to encourage broader discussion and reflection in the field of zoology.
A Perspective is a referenced article that provides commentary on emerging or debated issues, proposes new hypotheses, or presents alternative frameworks for interpreting existing knowledge. The format is intended to inspire dialogue and offer viewpoints that can influence future research directions.
Submissions may focus on specific projects, methods, or broader issues relevant to zoological sciences. The journal aims to feature contributions from researchers at various career stages, including early-career researchers, retired researchers, and underrepresented groups, ensuring diverse voices are represented.
The addition of this format reflects the journal’s goal of highlighting innovative thinking and encouraging engagement with new developments in zoology. All submissions will be peer reviewed according to standard editorial processes, and detailed guidelines are available for prospective authors.
