Archives of Natural History
Submit an article
Please submit articles to the editor at editor@shnh.org.uk.
Archives of Natural History is published by Edinburgh University Press for the Society for the History of Natural History. The journal provides an avenue for the publication of papers and short notes on the history and bibliography of natural history, including botany, geology, palaeontology, zoology, the lives of past naturalists, their publications, correspondence and collections, and the institutions and societies to which they belonged. Bibliographical papers concerned with the study of rare books, manuscripts and illustrative material, and analytical and enumerative bibliographies are also published.
Papers are considered on the understanding that they present the results of original research and that their contents have not appeared, or will not appear, elsewhere in substantially the same or abbreviated form, whether in English or in translation. Papers are submitted for scrutiny to one or more referees and are evaluated by the editors.
Papers submitted to Archives of Natural History may include lists of names and catalogues of specimens and may concern such matters as the authorship and dates of publication of taxonomic works. However, papers primarily concerned with nomenclatural matters, including the publication of new names, the conservation or rejection of names, and discussion of type status will not be considered.
Papers should be as concise as possible. Longer papers will be in the region of 6,000–8,000 words, but shorter articles are perfectly acceptable. Authors intending to submit papers exceeding 10,000 words should contact the Editor before submission. Long papers, if accepted, may be delayed in publication and, at the Editor’s discretion, may be published in two parts within Archives of Natural History. Short notes should contain fewer than 1,500 words including Notes and References.

Peer Review Process
All submitted manuscripts are sent to one or more independent referees for peer-review scrutiny. Papers are considered on the understanding that they present the results of original research, and that they have not appeared, and are not being submitted simultaneously, elsewhere, either in English or another language. The peer-review process is normally completed within three months.
Open Access and Self-Archiving
All EUP journals are published on a Green Open Access basis, whereby authors are allowed to deposit a pre-publication version of their contribution on their personal or departmental web page and in their institutional repository. Authors are also permitted to deposit a pre-publication version of their contribution in a non-commercial subject repository one year following publication in print. The Version of Record of the article, as it appears in the journal following layout and proof correction, may not be deposited by authors in institutional repositories. Please visit our Copyright and Open Access Licenses page for full details of our self-archiving policy for all EUP journals.
Authors can also choose to pay a fee to make their article freely available online immediately via the EUP journals website through the Edinburgh Open scheme which provides an optional Gold Open Access route to publication in all Edinburgh University Press journals. Please visit our Open Access page for full information on the scheme.
