LARGE GROWTH FOR
Society journals The Society publishes eight peer-reviewed journals with our publishing partner Taylor & Francis. These titles are:
› Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand › New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research › New Zealand Journal of Botany › New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science › New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics › New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research › New Zealand Journal of Zoology › Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online. Comparisons over the last few years show substantial and rapid increases in submissions of papers to the journals, papers published and readership. Initial submissions of research papers by authors has increased by 55% from 2016 to 2020 and the number of accepted manuscripts has increased by 17% over the same period. The growth in readership is shown by an increase in full text downloads of 104% between 2017 and 2020.
“The journals of Royal Society Te Apārangi have grown remarkably over the past few years, which is a testament to the hard work of the Society and Editors, and a demonstration of the high quality and international standing of New Zealand’s research community. It has been rewarding to see the growth in the journals’ readership, particularly internationally, as well as the increasing number of researchers who see the journals as influential and highly-regarded places to publish their research. I look forward to seeing the Royal Society Te Apārangi Journals reach ever greater heights in coming years.” CHRIS FREEMAN, TAYLOR & FRANCIS GROUP, PORTFOLIO MANAGER, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
