Peer reviewed open access journal
Scope Alignment
Evolutionary biology, phylogenetics, population genetics, macroevolution, molecular evolution, evolutionary ecology, paleobiology, evo-devo, comparative genomics, and biodiversity science. We prioritize mechanistic insight and robust comparative methods.
Publishing Model
Open access, single blind peer review, and rapid publication after acceptance and production checks. Metadata validation, DOI registration, and data transparency support are included.
JES provides editors with structured guidance, templates, and workflow tools to support consistent and fair peer review decisions. Resources are designed to streamline evaluation of evolutionary manuscripts.
Decision Templates
Standardized decision letters and reviewer prompts.
Ethics Checklists
Support compliance with research integrity standards.
Reviewer Guidance
Criteria for evaluating evolutionary methods.
Data Review
Guidance for assessing data and code availability.
- Match reviewers to specific methodological expertise
- Encourage transparent reporting of phylogenetic workflows
- Request clarification on sampling and model assumptions
- Promote reproducible and theory relevant analyses
Editors can contact the editorial office for guidance on complex submissions or conflicts of interest. Email [email protected] for support.
JES is committed to rigorous, transparent publishing in evolutionary science. We emphasize reproducible phylogenetic and population genetic analyses, clear reporting of model assumptions, and ethical compliance in field and laboratory research.
The editorial office supports authors, editors, and reviewers with clear guidance and responsive communication. For questions about scope or workflow, contact [email protected].
We encourage open data, code sharing, and careful documentation of specimens and sequences to support replication and long-term reuse across the evolutionary biology community.
