期刊介绍：

Protist publishes papers that report substantial and novel findings in any area of research on protists. Suitable subject areas include: molecular, cell and developmental biology, biochemistry, systematics and phylogeny, and ecology of autotrophic and heterotrophic protists. The journal will not, in general, publish floristic/faunistic accounts, descriptions or redescriptions of taxa which are not based on new original data, taxonomic work which lacks reproducibility or papers that are preliminary or merely confirmatory. The criteria for acceptance of manuscripts are scientific excellence, significance, and interest for a broad readership.
