Publication history

The International Journal of Primatology was established in 1980, in response to proposals for a peer-reviewed journal of primatology made during the 6th Congress of the International Primatological Society in 1976.

The journal was first published in March 1980, and is the official journal of the International Primatological Society. It was initially published quarterly on behalf of the society by Plenum Press, now part of Springer Science+Business Media. In 1988 the publication frequency increased to bimonthly. [1]
