CALL FOR PAPERS
Highlighting Student Research in Human Ethology
We invite submissions for a special issue of the Human Ethology Bulletin (to be published in December 2018) highlighting the work of students within human ethology. This issue will showcase the newest work in the field, as performed by the next generation of human ethologists. All papers will be peer-reviewed but note that time is of the essence. Students at any stage of study are welcome to submit.
Submissions will be accepted until October 31, 2018. The review process will be fast, ideally leaving authors 3-4 weeks to revise and resubmit articles.

They include an abstract, an introduction that outlines the main theme, brief subheadings, and an outline of important unresolved questions. A maximum of 40 references is suggested.
Brief Reports: up to ~2500 words including references, notes and captions; present important new research results of broad significance. Reports should include an abstract, an introductory paragraph, up to four figures or tables, and up to a maximum of about 30 references.
About the Human Ethology Bulletin
HEB publishes empirical, theoretical, and review articles broadly within the research tradition of Human Ethology. It is an online peer-reviewed journal with the focus of providing a unique venue for the publication of empirical, theoretical, and review articles within the tradition of Human Ethology. HEB is particularly interested in studies where behavior is directly observed and recorded using a variety of methods, which might range from traditional ad libitum direct observation in natural habitats to automatic computer-aided behavior recording and analysis, as well as methodological articles describing those procedures for general application. Purely descriptive and inductive studies will also be accepted, provided they are thorough and methodologically rigorous. Entirely survey-based research will not be considered for this special issue.
The Human Ethology Bulletin is entirely open access, with no costs for submission, publication, or accessing articles.
