JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY

The Journal of Mammalogy (ISSN 0022-2372) is a distinguished peer-reviewed academic journal published by the American Society of Mammalogists in the United States, serving as a premier platform for the dissemination of high-quality research in mammalogy. Published bimonthly, the journal encompasses a broad spectrum of topics within the field, including the ecology, behavior, evolutionary biology, conservation, and systematics of mammals, while integrating diverse methodological approaches such as field studies, laboratory analyses, and theoretical modeling. As a non-open access publication indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), it maintains a steady impact factor of approximately 2.0 and is typically classified within the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal ranking system for biological sciences, subject to annual updates. Although the journal is renowned for its rigorous editorial standards and serves as a critical reference for scholars in the mammalogy community, it is noted for its competitive submission process, potentially extended review periods, and a specialized readership that may contribute to fluctuations in citation rates. Overall, the Journal of Mammalogy remains an essential venue for researchers seeking to contribute to and advance the scientific understanding of mammalian biology and conservation.
