Reviewing policy
Scientific articles submitted for publishing in journal are subjected to a single-blind review process. In this review process, the author submitting their research article does not know the identities of their reviewers, although the reviewers may choose to if so desired. Two independent experts review each article, and a final publishing decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief.
Use of AI policy
Any author who uses Artificial Intelligence tools like ChatGPT and similar large language models must be transparent about their use in preparing the article for publication. The details of how the AI was used must be disclosed in the “Materials and Methods” section of the article.
''ZooKeys'' video podcast
The journal suggests that authors who publish research within the journal may want to produce a short video presentation to increase the visibility of their work to the immediate public. The video clip should be no longer than 2 minutes in length, and should resemble an elevator pitch or abstract. This use of visual storytelling should be designed to spark interest in the viewer and encourage them to further research the author’s work. Once accepted by Pensoft’s PR department, the video will be shared to Pensoft’s YouTube channel, ARPHA’s or Pensoft’s blog, and on various social media accounts managed by ARPHA. This is a free service provided by ZooKeys and Pensoft.
