Invertebrate Systematics (formerly Invertebrate Taxonomy) publishes original and significant contributions on the systematics and phylogeny of invertebrates worldwide. Papers provide comprehensive or revisionary treatments of clearly defined taxonomic groups and contain information on the phylogeny, biogeography and/or other aspects of biodiversity and general biology of the group. Contributions on the systematics of selected species that are of conservation, economic, medical or veterinary importance may also be considered, if these aspects are substantially highlighted in the work. Short, general papers, pertinent to invertebrate systematic biology are encouraged on: methodology, theoretical systematics, cladistics, phylogeny, molecular biology and biogeography. Pivotal reviews of general invertebrate systematics, containing innovative data or overviews of current theories, are also actively sought.

《無(wú)脊椎動(dòng)物分類(lèi)學(xué)》(前身為《無(wú)脊椎動(dòng)物分類(lèi)學(xué)》)在世界范圍內(nèi)發(fā)表了關(guān)于無(wú)脊椎動(dòng)物分類(lèi)學(xué)和系統(tǒng)學(xué)的原創(chuàng)和重要貢獻(xiàn)。論文提供了明確定義的分類(lèi)群的綜合或修正處理，并包含了系統(tǒng)發(fā)育、生物地理學(xué)和/或該群的生物多樣性和一般生物學(xué)的其他方面的信息。如果在工作中大量突出某些方面的重要性，也可以考慮對(duì)具有養(yǎng)護(hù)、經(jīng)濟(jì)、醫(yī)療或獸醫(yī)重要性的選定物種的系統(tǒng)學(xué)的貢獻(xiàn)。鼓勵(lì)發(fā)表有關(guān)無(wú)脊椎動(dòng)物系統(tǒng)生物學(xué)的簡(jiǎn)短、一般性論文:方法論、理論系統(tǒng)學(xué)、分類(lèi)學(xué)、系統(tǒng)學(xué)、分子生物學(xué)和生物地理學(xué)。還積極尋求對(duì)一般無(wú)脊椎動(dòng)物系統(tǒng)學(xué)的關(guān)鍵綜述，包括創(chuàng)新的數(shù)據(jù)或?qū)Ξ?dāng)前理論的概述。
