Genetica welcomes papers dealing with genetics, genomics, and evolution. Our journal covers novel advances in the fields of genomics, conservation genetics, genotype-phenotype interactions, evo-devo, population and quantitative genetics, and biodiversity. Genetica publishes original research articles addressing novel conceptual, experimental, and theoretical issues in these areas, whatever the taxon considered. Biomedical papers and papers on breeding animal and plant genetics are not within the scope of Genetica, unless framed in an evolutionary context. Recent advances in genetics, genomics and evolution are also published in thematic issues and synthesis papers published by experts in the field.
Details concerning the submission and publication procedures:
- No page charges
- No fees for color images online and in print
- Optional Open Access Publication Fee (APC) – USD 3.260 / Euro 2.570 / GBP 2.160 (net)
Genetica will consider fast tracking papers from PCI for publication.
Genetica is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). The journal applies COPE’s principles of publication ethics to deal with potential acts of misconduct. Each submission to Genetica is screened for plagiarism. When plagiarism is detected, a manuscript will be immediately rejected.
- Covers a broad range of topics in evolutionary genetics, including diversity genomics, population structure, phylogeography, molecular evolution, speciation, and conservation
- Publishes mainly original articles, short communications, and review/synthesis articles
- 94% of authors who answered a survey reported that they would definitely publish or probably publish in the journal again

Announcement: COVID-19 impact on peer review
As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
