Abstract:

The Journal reports excellent research from New Zealand and international authors from all branches of the Biological (including health and biomedical), Physical, and Social Sciences. Submissions from authors outside of New Zealand are welcome if the submission has relevance to New Zealand or the Pacific region. The Journal will not accept descriptive qualitative papers with long data quotes and little analysis, nor papers with a purely taxonomic focus. All contributions are peer reviewed. The Journal publishes original research papers, critical reviews, viewpoints, and letters to the Editor. We encourage the data underpinning the research to be deposited in a FAIR-aligned repository.
