Systematics and Biodiversity is devoted to whole-organism biology. It is a quarterly, international, peer-reviewed, life science journal, without page charges, which is published by Taylor & Francis for The Natural History Museum, London. The criterion for publication is scientific merit. Systematics and Biodiversity documents the diversity of organisms in all natural phyla, through taxonomic papers that have a broad context (not single species descriptions), while also addressing topical issues relating to biological collections, and the principles of systematics. It particularly emphasises the importance and multi-disciplinary significance of systematics, with contributions which address the implications of other fields for systematics, or which advance our understanding of other fields through taxonomic knowledge, especially in relation to the nature, origins, and conservation of biodiversity, at all taxonomic levels. The journal does not publish single species descriptions, monographs or applied research nor alpha species descriptions. Taxonomic manuscripts must include modern methods such as cladistics or phylogenetic analysis. Each issue contains a main section devoted to formal peer-reviewed original research papers, and a shorter, more informal 'Perspective' section. As well as taxonomic discovery, description, revision and recording, the research section carries studies of adaptation, anatomy, biodiversity patterns in time and space (including response to environmental and human factors, and to global change), biogeography, coevolution, conservation biology, development, evolutionary biology, functional morphology, growth and form, molecular science, phylogenetics, cladistics, speciation, and systematic ecology. State-of-knowledge reviews and papers on the theory and practice of systematics are also welcome. There are no restrictions on the geographical location of authors, their material and study areas, or on the institutional locations of their studied collections. The 'Perspective' section covers a similar range of subjects to the main section, but gives scope for debate and comment as well as reviews of books.

系統學與生物多樣性是研究整個有機體生物學的學科。這是一份由Taylor & Francis為倫敦自然歷史博物館出版的季度性、國際性、同行評議的生命科學雜志，不收費。發表的標準是科學價值。系統學和生物多樣性通過具有廣泛背景(而不是單一物種描述)的分類學論文記錄了所有自然門中生物的多樣性，同時也討論了與生物收集和系統學原則有關的主題問題。它特別強調了分類學的重要性和多學科意義，其貢獻涉及其他領域對分類學的影響，或通過分類學知識促進我們對其他領域的理解，特別是在所有分類學級別上與生物多樣性的性質、起源和保護有關的知識。該雜志不發表單一物種描述，專著或應用研究或阿爾法物種描述。分類學手稿必須包括現代方法，如分支學或系統發育分析。每期雜志都有一個主要部分專門介紹經過同行評審的正式原始研究論文，還有一個更短、更非正式的“觀點”部分。以及分類發現、描述、修訂和錄音,適應的研究部分進行研究,解剖學,生物多樣性模式在時間和空間(包括應對環境和人為因素,以及全球變化)、生物地理學、共同進化、生物保護、發展、進化生物學、功能形態、生長和形式,分子科學、系統發生學,支序分類學、物種形成、系統生態學。也歡迎關于系統學理論和實踐的知識狀態綜述和論文。沒有對作者的地理位置、他們的材料和研究領域，或他們的研究館藏的機構位置的限制。“觀點”部分涵蓋了與主體部分類似的主題，但也提供了辯論、評論和書評的空間。
