Aims and Scope of Primates
Primates is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal of primatology, and an official journal of the Japan Monkey Centre. It publishes original papers that cover all aspects of the study of primates. The journal publishes original research articles, reviews, news and perspectives, and book reviews. It was established in 1957 by Kinji Imanishi. Although the first volume contained only articles written in Japanese, subsequent volumes were published in English, thanks to a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. It is now published by Springer and the current editor-in-chief is Tetsuro Matsuzawa (Kyoto University). Less
