Journal Title：Southwestern Naturalist

The Southwestern Naturalist (a publication of the Southwestern Association of Naturalists since 1953) is an international journal (published quarterly) that reports original and significant research in any field of natural history. This journal promotes the study of plants and animals (living and fossil) in the multinational region that includes the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America. Appropriate submission of manuscripts may come from studies conducted in the countries of focus or in regions outside this area that report significant findings relating to biota occurring in the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America. Publication is in English, and manuscripts may be feature articles or notes. Feature articles communicate results of completed scientific investigations, while notes are reserved for short communications (e.g., behavioral observations, range extensions, and other important findings that do not in themselves constitute a comprehensive study). All manuscripts (feature articles and notes) require an abstract in both English and Spanish.

Southwestern Naturalist創(chuàng)刊于1956年，由Southwestern Association of Naturalists出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋環(huán)境科學(xué) - 生態(tài)學(xué)全領(lǐng)域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細(xì)分領(lǐng)域中專業(yè)影響力一般，過審相對較易，如果您文章質(zhì)量佳，選擇此期刊，發(fā)表機(jī)率較高。平均審稿速度 較慢,18-36周 ，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
