Journal of Cetacean Research and Management
CITED AS: J. Cetacean Res. Manage.
'...should be held in libraries wherever research, management, or policy of any sort are developed on whales throughout the world' - Ian Stirling, Book Review Editor, Marine Mammal Science
INTRODUCTION
This peer-reviewed Journal has been established to publish papers on those matters of most importance to the conservation and management of whales, dolphins and porpoises, and in particular papers that are relevant to the tasks of the IWC Scientific Committee. These will include papers on:
- population assessment and trends
- population dynamics
- population biology
- taxonomy
- risk averse management strategies
- direct and indirect exploitation
- environmental changes and threats in the context of cetaceans
- scientific aspects of whale watching and sanctuaries
The language of the Journal is English. Its aim is to publish high quality original papers that advance scientific knowledge significantly and that can contribute to the wise conservation and management of cetacean species.

Referees and manuscripts 1999 - October 2010
A journal cannot function without the support of those scientists who are prepared to give some much of their time to act as referees. Our Journal is no exception, and indeed has benefited greatly from the thorough and timely work of some 160 scientists since our inception in 1999, as have the authors. It is not the policy of the Journal to artificially inflate our rejection numbers - we do not believe that to be a sensible reflection of the quality of the Journal. Rather, our aim is to work with authors to produce papers of value if the underlying science is of a high standard. During that time, well over 500 manuscripts have been submitted and 400 have been published (including the two special issues) with some 40 in press and more out for review.
