General information
The Royal Zoological Society of Belgium and its Belgian Journal of Zoology continue in a long scientific tradition devoted to the promotion of zoology and to the publication of research in zoology. This tradition goes back to 1863, when the “Société malacologique de Belgique” was founded in Brussels and began to publish the “Annales de la Société malacologique de Belgique.” Name changes took place in 1903 (“Annales de la Société royale malacologique et zoologique de Belgique”), and 1923 (“Annales de la Société Royale Zoologique de Belgique”). With the internationalisation of the editorial board in 1989, the journal was opened to the international scientific community, and the name “Belgian Journal of Zoology” was chosen. The Belgian Journal of Zoology is now distributed to the about 400 Belgian and international members of the Society, to bookshops, and is accessible, through an active exchange policy, in 230 libraries of various institutions in more than 50 countries in the world.
The Belgian Journal of Zoology publishes in English original papers, reviews and notes in Zoology focusing on “biodiversity, ecology and evolution”. All manuscripts (including short notes) are peer reviewed by at least two referees. The Belgian Journal of Zoology appears in two regular issues per volume (January and July) and occasional special issues.
