The Journal of Zoo and Aquarium Research


Welcome to the Journal of Zoo and Aquarium Research (JZAR).

The Journal of Zoo and Aquarium Research (JZAR) will provide a forum for rapid publication of novel, peer-reviewed research papers, reviews, technical reports and evidence-based case studies.  Through their living collections, zoos and aquariums are uniquely placed to contribute to conservation-related research.  Research categories covered by JZAR will include studies in pure and applied biological sciences (e.g. behaviour, genetics, medicine, nutrition, population management and reproduction), in situ conservation research (e.g. socio-economic and field surveys) and research aimed at developing other roles of zoos and aquariums (e.g. visitor learning and marketing surveys).

This site is currently under construction. JZAR will be launched in early 2013 as an open access online journal. In the meantime, if you are interested in submitting an article or joining the editorial board, please click here for more information.
