Published regularly since 1920, Acta Zoologica has retained its position as one of the world's leading journals in the field of animal organization, development, structure and function. Each issue publishes original research of interest to zoologists and physiologists worldwide, in the field of animal structure (from the cellular to the organismic level) and development with emphasis on functional, comparative and phylogenetic aspects. Occasional review articles are also published, as well as book reviews. Published by Blackwell Publishing for The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, Acta Zoologica incorporates an extensive International Advisory Council ensuring that only papers of the highest quality are accepted for publication.

This journal is a fairly rapid (average time from submission to publishing was 10.7 months in the last four years), peer-reviewed, non-profit oriented publication forum for the accepted papers in the fields of animal taxonomy and systematics, zoogeography, animal ecology, population biology, biodiversity studies and nature conservation problems. Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae published quarterly from February 1994 (other issues in May, August and November) by the Hungarian Natural History Museum and the Biological Section of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences with the financial support of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The journal is indexed in BIOSIS, Biological Abstracts, Abstracts of Entomology, CAB Abstracts, Forest Science Database, Current Contents, Human Genom Abstracts, Zoological Records.According to the Journal Citation Reports published by Thomson Reuters the impact factor (IF) of the last 3 yrs of Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae is as follows:.
