Asian Primates Journal will be an important source of information not only amongst the IUCN SSC Primate Specialist Group members in the region, but also to other professionals and those with a keen interest in primates and primate conservation. The journal further aims to provide a venue for developing the capacities of early-career Asian nationals by encouraging them to submit manuscripts in English.

As no one discipline can encapsulate the many aspects of primates, Asian Primates Journal thus encourages submissions that reflect inter- and multi-disciplinary perspectives to primates, thereby allowing the sharing of these perspectives, and the initiation of innovative and creative dialogues that help us learn more about our closest living relatives — and that help us to conserve them, their habitats, other denizens that share those habitats with them, and the ecosystem services these habitats provide us.
