节肢动物学杂志上发表科学论文报告小说和大量的观察和数据关于任何方面的生物学的蛛形纲动物的组织。文章必须科学严谨，报道大量的新信息。焦点过于狭窄的提交(例如，局部动物群列表、对第二性别的描述或对单一物种的描述，而没有进一步讨论该信息的重要性)、缺乏充分证据的观测数据或没有新信息的提交将不予考虑。书评将不会出版。稿件必须是英文的，并应始终使用主动语态。作者应该查阅最近一期的蜘蛛学杂志，以获得更多的风格要点。3页以上的稿件(12页或以上双倍行距的稿件)应作为特稿，篇幅较短的稿件应作为短通讯。邀请的评论将不时发表，不请自来的评论也将受到欢迎。所有的评审程序将与其他提交的评审程序相同。
The Journal of Arachnology publishes scientific articles reporting novel and significant observations and data regarding any aspect of the biology of arachnid groups. Articles must be scientifically rigorous and report substantially new information. Submissions that are overly narrow in focus (e.g., local faunal lists, descriptions of a second sex or of a single species without additional discussion of the significance of this information), that have poorly substantiated observational data, or that present no new information will not be considered. Book reviews will not be published.Manuscripts must be in English and should use the active voice throughout. Authors should consult a recent issue of the Journal of Arachnology for additional points of style. Manuscripts longer than three printed journal pages (12 or more double-spaced manuscript pages) should be prepared as Feature Articles, shorter papers as Short Communications. Invited Reviews will be published from time to time and unsolicited reviews are also welcomed. All reviews will be subject to the same review process as other submissions.
