Welcome to Conservation Ecology, a publication of the Ecological
Society of America
Conservation Ecology is a new electronic peer-reviewed
scientific journal which is still in the development stage. We
anticipate that our initial call for papers will be in early 1996
and that publication will commence in the spring of 1996. As a subscriber
you will be automatically notified of these events.
The journal's mandate reads: "Conservation Ecology is an
electronic, peer-reviewed, scientific journal devoted to the rapid
dissemination of current research. Content of the journal ranges
from the applied to the theoretical. Topics covered include the
ecological bases for (1) the conservation of ecosystems, landscapes,
species, populations and genetic diversity; (2) the restoration of
ecosystems and habitats; and (3) the management of resources.
We encourage papers on the above topics that also integrate the
biological and physical sciences, the natural and social sciences,
science and policy, and across space and time scales. The papers
considered for publication should present original research, novel
synthesis, or judicious review of current theory, method, policy or
practice. Article submission, review and publication are accomplished
entirely electronically.
Conservation Ecology is intended to meet a critical need for
timely and cost-effective delivery of information in its field.
Our aim is to supplement, rather than supplant, the suite of
journals that already exist in this field. Conservation Ecology
is the newest journal of the Ecological Society of America (ESA)
and will be the first ESA journal to be available electronically.
The journal will be peer-reviewed; support text, figures and
equations; and will permit searching of all issues by keyword,
author or issue number. It will be available free of charge.
Subscription information is available at the end of this document.
Articles will be published in a publicly accessible
"issue-in-progress" as they are accepted. The issue-in-progress
will be converted automatically to an official issue on a regular
schedule (quarterly to begin) at which time the table of contents
will be sent to all subscribers. At this time Conservation
Ecology is considering accepting articles up to fifty pages in
length. While articles for our journal need not be as brief as
those submitted to other journals they should still be clearly
organized and well written. Copyright of published articles will
be retained by the Ecological Society of America.
On-line access to the journal will be via World-Wide-Web (WWW) and
Electronic mail (e-mail) over the INTERNET--a world-wide network of
computers. Published manuscripts will also be available through anonymous
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) with our server. Virtually all universities,
many government offices and other public institutions, as well as many
private corporations are connected to this network. Conservation Ecology is
an international journal. Our list of subscribers already includes
representation from countries as diverse as the Philippines, Norway and
Australia. Please feel free to circulate this information package to others
who would be interested in our journal. This will help publicize the
journal and encourage our development as a truly international forum for
conservation biology research.
Conservation Ecology can be found by browsing the WWW and
searching under "Electronic Journals" or by connecting directly to
URL-- http://www.consecol.org/Journal/Overview.html . When we are
up and running you will also be able to obtain published manuscripts
by anonymous FTP at ftp.consecol.org . Finally, we plan to support
email access to the journal, but this service has not yet been
constructed.
