About the Journal
Focus and Scope
Mastozoología Neotropical is a biannual (June and December) journal devoted to the communication of results of original research on living and extinct Neotropical mammals. Its scope includes articles, notes, comments, book reviews and theses abstracts.
The journal considers two main types of manuscripts:
- Original Articles.
- Revision articles.
- Forum.
- Thesis abstracts.
Other types of manuscripts are published only by invitation from the Editor. The journal avoids publishing technical reports, lists of species of local interest, or observations that might motivate but do not, as such, represent research.
Languages
Mastozoología Neotropical accepts manuscripts in Spanish, Portuguese, and (American) English.
Open Access Policy
This journal provides immediate open access to its content (golden open access) on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
Mastozoología Neotropical has a dedicated website where all published, in press, and accepted manuscripts are available for free reading and downloading. It can be accessed here.

Plagiarism is not acceptable in submissions to Mastozoología Neotropical; therefore, the CopySpider program is used to identify similar documents available on the Internet.
