THE JOURNAL OF CRYPTOZOOLOGY #4

Ladies and gentleman, we are very pleased to announce that volume four of The Journal of Cryptozoology has now been uploaded to the printer and is now available.

Following the demise of Cryptozoology (published by the now-defunct International Society of Cryptozoology), there has been no peer-reviewed scientific journal devoted to cryptozoology for quite some time. Consequently, the Journal of Cryptozoology has been launched to remedy this situation and fill a notable gap in the literature of cryptids and their investigation. For although some mainstream zoological journals are beginning to show slightly less reluctance than before to publish papers with a cryptozoological theme, it is still by no means an easy task for such papers to gain acceptance, and, as a result, potentially significant, serious contributions to the subject are not receiving the scientific attention that they deserve. Now, however, they have a journal of their own once again.

You can buy your issue at the link at the bottom of this post, on Amazon or at www.journalofcryptozoology.com
