This journal was suppressed in the SCI IF data released at the end of June 2020. However, shortly after, Clarivate Analytics reversed this decision at the end of July. The Impact Factor for that year was 0.955, continuing a record of being included in SCI for over 10 years. The self-citation rate of this journal has consistently been around 40%, which is quite high. For more information, please refer to the news article:

Different Types: Descriptive, Informational, and Structured. Descriptive abstracts are typically used in social sciences and humanities, providing general information about the study without specific details on methodology and conclusions. Informational abstracts are commonly found in scientific papers, presenting details on research background, objectives, methods, results, and conclusions. Structured abstracts focus on information and are organized into sections with headings (e.g., objectives, methods, results, conclusions), commonly used in medical papers and clinical trial reports

According to the requirements of the respective magazines, write in the appropriate format. If there is no fixed format, you can choose a suitable format based on the type of article. Regardless of the format used, structuring the abstract makes the data information more clear and understandable

My first ZOOTAXA was the same way. Because there was no submission system, I sent it directly to the editor, so it wasn't until the third month that I received the review comments. After making some minor revisions, it was published in less than two weeks

Anyone with knowledge of taxonomy would not dare to say ZOOTAXA is a garbage dump. Those who say so are either ignorant or malicious

Anyway, this bearish trend won't change. It would be fortunate if it doesn't drop

Because Zootaxa is a SCI journal, free, and fast; it meets the needs of Chinese people, so there are more submissions. So what? Does more Chinese submissions mean it's garbage? At the current rate of development, all journals worldwide will soon become what you call a garbage dump

After submitting the manuscript, will the editorial department not reply? It has been over 2 months since I submitted it, and I have not received any response
