Basic information
Nauplius is an international journal published by the Brazilian Crustacean Society (SBC) since 1993 without interruption. Until 2015, original articles were published in two issues per year. Since 2016, publication is continuous (papers are available online shortly after acceptance) and there is one issue per year. This journal covers all aspects of crustacean biology, including aquaculture, bioenergetics, biogeography, development, ecology, fishery, morphology, paleontology, physiology, phylogeny and taxonomy. Review articles with bold proposals showing original conclusions or approaches are encouraged. The manuscripts submitted to this journal must have not been submitted to any other national or international periodical. The abbreviated title is Nauplius, which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips. |

Scope and editorial Policy
Nauplius is an electronic open access journal that publishes original research dealing with any aspect of crustacean biology. Papers are published in English only. Since 2016 papers are published as soon as accepted, under a continuous publication system. Nauplius accepts three types of manuscripts for publication: Original Articles, Reviews, and Short Communications. All three types of contributions will be subject to the full editorial process. Nauplius does not impose limitations on the number of pages for manuscripts, although Short Communications should be restricted to a few pages (usually, up to six pages). When submitting a manuscript, please state in the cover letter that (1) the manuscript has been submitted solely to this journal and is not published, in press, or being considered for publication elsewhere; (2) that all research meets the ethical guidelines, including adherence to the legal requirements of the country where the study was conducted; and (3) that the manuscript is approved by all authors. All manuscripts published in Nauplius are peer-reviewed for content and presentation by at least two appropriate referees, editorial board and editor. Nauplius is part of the Scientific Electronic Library Online - SciELO and, as such, follows the SciELO Brazil Collection policies and criteria, as well as endorses the policies and practices recommended by the Committee on Publication Ethics - COPE. Nauplius follows the requirements of Article 8 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and all articles published have fixed content from the moment of their publication date. An eventual change to an article will only be permitted through the publication of an erratum. |

Form and preparation of manuscripts
Text Formatting: All manuscripts must be submitted as .doc or .docx files.
After acceptance for publication, a clean final version of the manuscript must be submitted strictly conforming to Nauplius format and style. As you prepare your accepted manuscript to become a published article, please follow these guidelines: “Organization of Manuscript and Technical Standards” very carefully. Manuscripts that do not strictly conform to Nauplius format and style will be withheld. According to the type of publication, the sequence of contents should be: A. Original research articles
Taxonomic papers In manuscripts dealing with systematics and taxonomy the organization of the main text can follow a sequence of content more suitable for such papers, usually: Introduction, Material and Methods, Systematics (with any necessary topics, e.g., taxonomic ranks, synonymic list, material examined, diagnosis, description, etymology, type locality, distribution, remarks, etc.) and Discussion (if pertinent).
B. Reviews Nauplius welcomes scientific investigations that reappraise relevant studies on specific topics of Carcinology on the basis of a critical and comprehensive review of the literature. Manuscripts of Review articles should be prepared following the same recommendations as regular articles, but the divisions of the main text may be more flexible at the discretion of the author.
C. Short Communications Nauplius accepts short notes when they present information that cannot be incorporated into a regular paper. Manuscripts should be prepared following the same recommendations as regular articles; however:
