Description
“Aims: New Zealand s oldest learned periodical originated in the 1860s, as the Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute. Its modern descendant, the Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, is a comprehensive multidisciplinary journal publishing high-quality research on themes represented by Royal Society Te Aparangi. Research published in the Journal targets diverse scientific audiences worldwide. Scope of submissions: The Journal reports excellent research from New Zealand and international authors from all branches of the Biological (including health and biomedical), Physical, and Social Sciences. Submissions from authors outside of New Zealand are welcome if the submission has relevance to New Zealand or the Pacific region. The Journal will not accept descriptive qualitative papers with long data quotes and little analysis, nor papers with a purely taxonomic focus. All contributions are peer reviewed. The Journal publishes original research papers, critical reviews, viewpoints, and letters to the Editor. We encourage the data underpinning the research to be deposited in a FAIR-aligned repository. Prospective contributors should consult recent issues of the journal and see whether a planned submission is appropriate.
