Neotropical Ichthyology is the official journal of the Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia (SBI). It is an international peer-reviewed Open Access periodical that publishes original articles and reviews exclusively on Neotropical freshwater and marine fishes and constitutes an International Forum to disclose and discuss results of original research on the diversity of marine, estuarine and freshwater Neotropical fishes.
- Frequency: Four issues per year published only online since 2020, using the ‘rolling pass’ system, which posts articles online immediately as soon as they are ready for publication. A searchable and citable Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is assigned to each article immediately after online publication, with no need to await the issue’s closing.
- Areas of interest: Biology, Biochemistry and Physiology, Ecology, Ethology, Genetics and Molecular Biology, Systematics.
- Peer review process: The Editor-in-Chief screens each manuscript submitted to Neotropical Ichthyology to verify whether it is within the journal’s scope and policy, presents original research and follows the journal’s guidelines. After passing through the initial screening, articles are assigned to a Section Editor, who then assigns an Associate Editor to start the single blind review process.
Open Access Policy: Neotropical Ichthyology is published under an Open Access model and it is consequently free for anybody to read, download, copy, and disseminate the articles for any purposes, provided that they credit the authors and journal.
Submitted manuscripts must report on original research, provide clear theoretical foundations, describe the objectives and/or hypotheses under consideration, and employ appropriate sampling and analytical designs. Ecological descriptive studies which have a clear conservation or management focus and/or demonstrate relevance to a broad audience by addressing interesting scientific questions can be eventually published only when they (i) focus on important or overlooked species lacking critical information about their biology and natural history; (ii) investigate species occurring in highly disturbed environments, especially those impacted by mining, large hydroelectric plants and urban areas, with an explicit conservation or management problem; or (iii) investigate species in a threat category or the DD (Data Deficient) category on red lists. Ultimately, the decision to consider a descriptive study is a prerogative of the editors.
Casual observations, scientific notes or ecological descriptive studies not associated with relevant theoretical issues will not be considered. Taxonomical descriptions of new species are welcome as well as descriptive works on fish physiology, ichthyoplankton and fish parasitology. The journal also welcomes methodological submissions. However, lists of species inhabiting geographical areas or inventories will be considered only if bring substantial additional information, such as keys for identification, pictures and detailed information on the species and the sampled ecosystem.

Though authors retain the copyright of their articles, by submitting manuscripts to Neotropical Ichthyology, they grant the journal a license to publish the article electronically, to identify itself as the original publisher, and to distribute and promote the article on the journal’s website and via social media.
