Scope

Acta Zoologica Bulgarica publishes original research articles, reviews and short communications in systematics and phylogenetics, zoogeography and faunistics, terrestrial ecology and behaviour, aquatic ecology, parasitology, palaeozoology, zoomorphology and developmental biology, conservation biology, applied zoology and other branches of zoology dealing with diversity, ecology and evolution of animals. The geographical scope of the journal is worldwide but a priority is given to the Bulgarian and Balkan fauna as well as the fauna of associated regions (e.g. Black Sea, Danubian Basin, Southeast Europe). Descriptions of new zoological methods, short reviews or annotations of zoological books and information about scientific events (past or forthcoming) are also accepted.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
