Submission / How to contact the editorial office
Asian Herpetological Research (AHR), an international journal, is published quarterly by the Chengdu Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CIB), and Science Press in cooperation with the Asiatic Herpetological Research Society (AHRS). The scope of the journal includes all contemporary herpetological research areas including taxonomy, morphology, phylogeny, systematics, evolution, zoogeography, physiology, ecology, toxicology and conservation biology of amphibians and reptiles.
The principal criteria of AHR for acceptance of articles for publication are the quality and significance of the research, novelty and interest of the work to the readership, and clarity and effectiveness of communication. AHR welcomes submission of manuscripts from authors in all countries of the world as one of the following article types:

Description: Original articles report the results of original research that should contribute new information to the knowledge base in the field, not just confirm previously published work.
Review

Description: A brief and timely report of a data-supported conclusion about a topic of interest. The manuscript begins with “Dear editor,” followed by a background explanation and the main findings of the authors.
* The main body of the text excluding the abstract, title page, tables, figure legends and references.
All submitted manuscripts will be peer reviewed by two or more international specialists, whose advice and suggestions will form the basis of the editors’ final decisions. It is recommended that authors who might not be familiar with the English language seek the advice of a native English-speaking specialist before submission in order to ensure that the narrative is clear, concise and written in standard English. Manuscripts not meeting this criterion will not be accepted for review.
Molecular data generated from research projects and submitted to AHR must also be deposited at a recognized archive, such as GenBank, and the accession numbers must be provided in the Results section of the manuscript. Furthermore, holotype and secondary types of taxa described in AHR as new to science should be deposited in national or international research institutes.
All manuscripts must be submitted to AHR via on-line Manuscript Submission System (https://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/ahr). For manuscript submission, a single file including all text, tables, figures and references in Word Format is preferred, although attachment of separate files in MSWord, text, jpeg, tiff or other commonly used file formats is acceptable. If an acknowledgement by email is not received within 3–5 working days, please contact the Editorial Office.
