Dear all, The *Journal of Cetacean Research & Management* plans to launch a new Special Issue on cetacean tagging in 2024. We are seeking papers on the following topics: · Development of cetacean tracking methods and technology; · Assessment of the potential effects of telemetry instruments on the behaviour, physiology, health, reproduction and/or survival of cetaceans; · New ecological findings from cetacean tracking; · Application of telemetry methods to improve cetacean conservation and management. *JCRM* is the in-house journal of the International Whaling Commission (IWC). Special Issues have been important sources of information for key cetacean research and conservation topics. Previous examples can be found here <https://journal.iwc.int/index.php/jcrm/issue/archive>. *JCRM* was recently restyled, with the average publication time (from submission to online publication) now 5 months. *JCRM* does not charge publication fees. You can find our full submission guidelines here <https://journal.iwc.int/index.php/jcrm/about/submissions>. If you would like to submit a paper to this Special Issue, please contact the editorial board here: patrick.naylor@iwc.int We expect to receive submissions by 30th September 2024 and publish final papers online as they are accepted.
