ZooKeys is a peer-reviewed, open-access, rapidly disseminated journal
launched to accelerate research and free information exchange in taxonomy,
phylogeny, biogeography and evolution of animals.

ZooKeys aims to apply the latest trends and methodologies in publishing and
preservation of digital materials to meet the highest possible standards of
the cybertaxonomy era.

ZooKeys will publish papers in systematic zoology containing
taxonomic/faunistic data on any taxon of any geological age from any part of
the world with no limit to manuscript size.

ZooKeys will consider for publishing works on the following topics:

* new descriptions of taxa, if they are accomplished with proper diagnoses,
keys and/or revision of at least at species group level
* taxonomic revisions of extant (or ''recent'') and fossil animal groups
* checklists and catalogues
* phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses
* papers in descriptive and/or historical biogeography
* methodology papers
* data mining and literature surveys
* monographs, conspecti, atlases
* collections of papers, Festschrift volumes, conference proceedings.

Extensive faunistic overviews on a group in a country or larger region are
welcome. Short faunistic contributions may be considered if they are based
on significant or unexpected discovery. Regular faunistic contributions may
eventually be published in special issues devoted to a region/country.

Papers containing identification keys will be considered for publishing with
priority. Extensive manuscripts consisting mostly of keys will be considered
for publishing as well.

Descriptions of single species will only be considered if they form part of
a work of broader importance (e.g. key or revision of the species in a wide
region; revision of the particular species group; separation of widespread
cryptic species), or are of particular scientific importance (e.g. disease
vector, representative of a new genus, sister-group of a large clade), or
are exceptional in some respect (e.g. species in danger of extinction, large
extension of the geographical range of a higher taxon).
