History
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Tierpsychologie (i.e. German Society for Animal Psychology) founded the journal in 1937[3] as one of the first journals in the world, focusing on animal behaviour.[4] Konrad Lorenz, Otto Köhler and Carl Kronacher were the first editors of this journal, which was first named Zeitschrift für Tierpsychologie (i.e. Journal of Comparative Ethology).[3] In 1986, the journal was renamed "Ethology" with the subtitle International Journal of Behavioral Biology.[5] In 2021, Ethology was the first behavioural journal to adopt the STRANGE framework, similar to the WEIRD framework in Psychology, to account for sampling bias.[6] In the same year, it became mandatory for authors to deposit the original data in a public data repository.[7]
Scope
The journal covers all of Tinbergen's four questions, including ultimate (current utility, evolution) and proximate (mechanisms, ontogeny) aspects of Behavioural Biology.[8] Apart from regular Research Articles, it features Perspectives & Reviews, Species-in-the-Spotlight articles, Behavioural Notes, Commentaries and articles focusing on Ethological Methods.[8]
Abstracting and indexing
The journal is abstracted and indexed, for instance, in Academic Search, Scopus, and the Science Citation Index.[8] According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 1.897, ranking it 46th out of 53 journals in the category "Behavioral Sciences" and 62nd out of 175 in the category "Zoology".[8]
