Since our initial issue in 1993, our worldwide distribution has grown steadily, and we currently have a circulation of about 1000 to more than 60 nations. We have a high Thomson Reuters ISI journal Impact Factor, currently ranked among the top 50 zoology journals worldwide, and top 2 herpetological journals. The depth and breadth of our coverage of turtle research has also increased, and we invite you to evaluate the enclosed scientific table of contents of the issues produced so far and hope that the quality of the research entices you to subscribe. Included in the contents are the formal descriptions of three new genera and three new species of turtles, as well as articles on ecology, systematics, conservation, reproduction, sex determination, breeding and husbandry, pathology, physiology, morphology, and wildlife management. We publish about two issues per year. Every journal depends on its contributing authors, subscribing readers, and institutional libraries for its support. May we count on yours? Please consider subscribing for yourself, or encourage your institutional library to subscribe. We also invite all turtle workers to consider publishing their turtle research with us.
