Journal Title：Evolutionary Biology

The aim, scope, and format of Evolutionary Biology will be based on the following principles:

Evolutionary Biology will publish original articles and reviews that address issues and subjects of core concern in evolutionary biology. All papers must make original contributions to our understanding of the evolutionary process.

The journal will remain true to the original intent of the original series to provide a place for broad syntheses in evolutionary biology. Articles will contribute to this goal by defining the direction of current and future research and by building conceptual links between disciplines. In articles presenting an empirical analysis, the results of these analyses must be integrated within a broader evolutionary framework.

Authors are encouraged to submit papers presenting novel conceptual frameworks or major challenges to accepted ideas.

While brevity is encouraged, there is no formal restriction on length for major articles.

The journal aims to keep the time between original submission and appearance online to within four months and will encourage authors to revise rapidly once a paper has been submitted and deemed acceptable.

进化生物学的目标、范围和形式将基于以下原则：

进化生物学将发表原创文章和评论，以解决进化生物学中核心关注的问题和主题。所有论文都必须对我们对进化过程的理解做出原创性贡献。

该期刊将忠实于原系列的初衷，为进化生物学的广泛综合提供一个场所。文章将通过定义当前和未来研究的方向以及建立学科之间的概念联系来实现这一目标。在呈现实证分析的文章中，这些分析的结果必须整合到更广泛的进化框架中。

鼓励作者提交论文，展示新颖的概念框架或对公认想法的重大挑战。

虽然鼓励简洁，但主要文章的长度没有正式限制。

该期刊的目标是将原始提交和在线发表之间的时间控制在四个月内，并鼓励作者在论文提交并被认为可接受后迅速修改。
