Focus and Scope
Letters on Evolutionary Behavioral Science (Lett. Evol. Behav. Sci.; hereafter “LEBS”; ISSN 1884-927X) is an online, open access peer-reviewed journal that publishes brief and interesting articles that deal with evolutionary studies on human behavior. The scope of LEBS is vast: publishing research in any area of human evolutionary behavioral science as well as studies on humanities. Articles reporting findings on other species will be welcomed if their relevance to the human animal is apparent. In particular, LEBS welcomes studies that replicate previous findings and eagerly anticipates submissions from Asian and Oceanian researchers.
Peer Review Process
Quick review process and wide distributions are the most significant features of LEBS. A submitted manuscript must be examined by responsible editor(s) who would decide whether it is acceptable or not. Poor presentation and language would also be a justifiable reason for rejection.
Publication Frequency
Individual items will be published as soon as they are ready, by adding them to the "current" volume's Table of Contents.
Open Access Policy
This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
Journal History
Letters on Evolutionary Behavioral Science had launched in August 2010 as the official journal of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society of Japan, an academic society newly founded in 2008.
