The Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society publishes papers on systematic and evolutionary zoology and comparative, functional and other studies where relevant to these areas. Studies of extinct as well as living animals are included. Reviews are also published; these may be invited by the Editorial Board, but uninvited reviews may also be considered. The Zoological Journal also has a wide circulation amongst zoologists and although narrowly specialized papers are not excluded, potential authors should bear that readership in mind.

林尼安學會的動物學雜志發表關于系統和進化動物學以及與這些領域相關的比較、功能和其他研究的論文。包括對滅絕動物和現存動物的研究。并發表評論;這些可以由編輯委員會邀請，但也可以考慮不請自來的評論。動物學雜志在動物學家中也有廣泛的發行量，雖然不排除一些專業論文，但潛在的作者應該牢記這一點。
