Longdom Publishing SL to accomplish its vision to make scientific information & health care open access has made a new initiation to enrich the scientific knowledge all around the world. As per the interest of the scientific community from Non-English-speaking territories, we have introduced a new feature in the name of language translation. Language translation helps the scientific community to go through the articles in Chinese, Japanese & other world languages. A standard editorial manager system is utilized for manuscript submission, review, editorial processing, and tracking which can be securely accessed by the authors, reviewers, and editors for monitoring and tracking the article processing.

Manuscripts can be uploaded online at Editorial tracking https://www.longdom.org/submissions/entomology-ornithology-herpetology-current-research.html or as an email attachment to herpetology@oajournal.org.
