Subject:

Evolutionary biology in the broadest sense. All of historical geology is included, as are ecology, floras, animal behavior, professional works on history and philosophy related to evolutionary biology, and many other subjects. Probably most monographs will be taxonomic or morphological.

Scope:

Evolutionary Monographs is for monographs and other papers which need to be too long for unsubsidized publication in ordinary journals. Each volume contains one monograph except perhaps for some monographs near the lower limit on size. Symposia and other groups of related papers are acceptable in principle, but the editor should be consulted in advance about refereeing. Major bibliographies and other nonstandard works, including sets of useful data, are acceptable. Some out-of-print monographs from other series may be reprinted.

Length:

There is no maximum length, although unusually long monographs will be split into parts. The minimum length is 40 double-spaced pages, including the equivalent in figures.

Frequency:

Irregular. There is no definite maximum number of monographs per year. Publication can be expected from one to a few months after receipt of the final manuscript.

Who Can Submit:

Anyone, worldwide. There is no payment required from authors, although voluntary payment of page costs is welcome. The language is English unless other arrangements are made before submission, which will not always be possible.

Publicity:

The author, title, pagination, purchasing information, and abstract for each monograph appear in Evolutionary Theory.
