Scope
The Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences is the primary publishing vehicle for the multidisciplinary field of aquatic sciences. The journal publishes perspectives (syntheses, critiques, and re-evaluations), discussions (comments and replies), articles, and rapid communications, relating to current research on -omics, cells, organisms, populations, ecosystems, or processes that affect aquatic systems. The journal seeks to amplify, modify, question, or redirect accumulated knowledge in the field of fisheries and aquatic science.
For primary biodiversity data authors are strongly encouraged to place all species distribution records in a publicly accessible database such as the national Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) nodes (www.gbif.org) or data centres endorsed by GBIF, including BioFresh (www.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu) for freshwater data and the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS, http://www.iobis.org/) for marine biodiversity data, which also holds supporting measurements taken alongside the species occurrence data.
All newly published “perspectives” articles (incl. syntheses, critical reviews, and re-evaluations of current concepts and paradigms) will be freely accessible upon publication.
The journal also accepts manuscripts written by (with or for) Indigenous Traditional Knowledge keepers to ensure the protection of Traditional Knowledge with/for/by Indigenous Peoples. As usual, not all manuscripts will automatically be published and will undergo the normal peer-review process.
Submitted manuscripts examining Indigenous knowledge will have to demonstrate that the research was ethically conducted with respect of Indigenous Peoples. The submissions will have to follow these principles: (i) research has received appropriate Indigenous Research Ethics approval, (ii) true and informed consent was a priori sought before the start of the research, (iii) data were returned to the People where they belong for the protection and preservation of their Indigenous knowledge, and (iv) Indigenous Peoples have approved the submission of the manuscript.
