About the journal

 

 

 

Established in 1920, Ecology publishes research and synthesis papers on all aspects of ecology, with particular emphasis on papers that develop new concepts in ecology, that test ecological theory, or that lead to an increased appreciation for the diversity of ecological phenomena. Theoretical, analytical, experimental, empirical, historical, and descriptive approaches are all appropriate, though preference is given to research and synthesis that leads to generalizations potentially applicable to other species, populations, communities, or ecosystems. Included within the journal are papers on physiological responses of individual organisms to their biotic and abiotic environments, ecological genetics and evolution, the structure and dynamics of populations, interactions among individuals of the same or different species, the behavior of individuals and groups of organisms, the organization of biological communities, landscape ecology, and ecosystems processes. Papers reporting ecological research on all kinds of organisms and ecosystems are welcome. New methodologies with a potential for broad use in ecology are also of interest. Papers that are well grounded in ecological theory and have broad implications for environmental policy or resource management may be well suited for publication in Ecological Applications, but are also welcome in Ecology if they meet the general criteria described above.

Ecology aims to publish more concise papers than has been the tradition for this journal. Concise publications yield increased interest, allow a greater number of papers and topics to appear in the journal, and provides greater content per page printed. The number and average length of Articles published in Ecology will decrease in the future, and the number of Reports will increase. Many publications conceived in the past as Articles will hence forth be cast as Reports, with an average length of 5-6 printed pages (one printed page equals roughly 3.5 manuscript pages, inclusive of tables and figures). Articles and Concepts and Synthesis papers will continue to be published in Ecology, but these will be shorter than the average Article of the past. Authors will designate portions of their manuscript as digital supplements to appear in the Ecological Archives and be directly linked to the publication in the on-line version of the journal.


Instructions to Authors

 

Papers must be original and not be work previously published in the primary literature. This does not mean that reanalysis, interpretation, or assessment of published data is in any way excluded from our journals. Some forms of prior gray literature publication are acceptable, and the decision rests with the judgment of the Subject-matter editors. We will consider for review manuscripts that concisely describe interesting science, and we do not discriminate against dissertation or thesis research. However, we do not republish dissertations per se, and most dissertation/thesis chapters require considerable editing and pruning before they are appropriate for our journals. In nearly all cases, dissertations are readily available, and the raw data, methods, and other detail can form a basis for citation. The Subject matter editor makes the judgment about issues of novelty in manuscripts.


Types of contributions

Length limits with respect to manuscripts refer to all pages, including cover page, text, literature cited, tables and figures. Each figure will count as one page. Generally three pages of manuscript correspond to one printed page.

Final decisions on article types are at the discretion of the Managing Editor. (i) Papers submitted/accepted as Reports, Notes, and Communications, but which require more than 8.0 printed pages in the final version, will be published as articles. (ii) Papers submitted/accepted as Ecology articles, but which occupy fewer than 6.0 pages when typeset will be published as Notes. (iii) Articles, Concepts, and Perspectives papers longer than 17 printed pages will be published in Ecological Monographs.

  • Perspectives. This section, prominently featured at the beginning of the issue, is intended to contain papers that provide synthetic overview, critical commentary, or historical perspective, primarily by established ecologists. The MacArthur Award lectures will be published in this section. Often these will be invited papers, but aspiring authors should feel encouraged to contact the Editor-in-Chief.

  • Reports. Reports are expected to disclose new and exciting work in a concise format. These papers should present results that substantially advance a field or overturn existing ideas. Accordingly, these papers will be given a prominent place near the start of the issue. We expect that these will be the first papers readers turn to and that most readers will study at least the abstracts of all of them. To assure that the contents are timely, and to encourage submission of fast-breaking material, all submissions to the Reports section will be given a special fast-track for processing and publication. Our target is a rapid editorial decision and publication within five months of acceptance. In order to assure rapid publication, papers must conform to a strict page limit and format. Submissions may contain up to 20 manuscript pages, roughly 5000 words (including everything from Title Page through the last figure); estimate 250 words per quarter-printed-page, figure, or table.) The abstract can have a maximum of 200 words.

  • Statistical Reports. The primary goal of Statistical Reports is to increase the awareness and use of modern statistical techniques in the analysis of ecological data. Thus, Statistical Reports should be concise papers (up to 8 printed pages) that illustrate how well-established, unfamiliar, or new statistical techniques can be applied to timely and interesting ecological questions. Statistical Reports should extend the boundaries of statistical methods and techniques normally used by ecologists, and should be presented in a way that promotes the continued evolution of good statistical practice by ecologists. To encourage the broadest use by ecologists of methods and techniques published in Statistical Reports, all data and statistical code referred to in a Statistical Report must be archived in Ecological Archives. Like other Reports, review and publication of Statistical Reports will be expedited. Please note that Statistical Reports should not develop new ecological or statistical theory. (Such papers could be submitted as regular Articles or Reports to Ecology, Ecological Monographs, or Ecological Applications). Same length limits as for Reports.

  • Concepts & Synthesis. The Concepts and Synthesis section publishes papers that conceptually advance the field of ecology, including reviews that lead to a more synthetic overview of a subfield. These papers are expected to go well beyond works being reviewed and include discussion of new directions, new syntheses, and resolutions of old questions.Small groups of papers will also be considered. Same length limits as for Articles. Longer papers of this type should be submitted to Ecological Monographs.

  • Special Features & Forums. Special Features are intended to address various aspects of a theme that is likely to be of broad interest to ecologists. Ideally, a feature should teach a large audience about an unfamiliar topic or an area in which there has been considerable recent progress, or it should cause the audience to re-examine an issue that is not as settled as most have presumed. Proposals for Special Features should be addressed to the Editor-in-Chief. The format for Special Features is currently under review. Contact the Special Features editors, Anurag Agrawal (agrawal@botany.utoronto.ca) or Robert Jackson (jackson@duke.edu) with questions about Special Features.

    A Forum can take a number of forms but always includes a series of commentaries solicited from a number of experts.  These commentaries represent personal responses to a paper (or papers) considered to be of very broad interest and significance within the field of applied ecology. Special instructions are available for Forums.

  • Articles.The greater length of Articles relative to Reports must be justified by their significance to the science. We are asking authors to submit shorter, better-organized pieces that make use of Ecological Archives for digital publication of appendices and supplements.The target length for Articles is 20-30 manuscript pages (including everything from Title Page through the last figure). Longer Articles (those between 30 and 50 manuscript pages) should be accompanied by a detailed justification for the length in the cover letter at the time of submission. The abstract can have a maximum of 350 words. Manuscripts longer than 50 pages may be considered for Ecological Monographs, at the editor's discretion.

  • Notes (same length limits as Reports).  Notes are short papers that present significant new observations and methodological advances. Notes may contain results that are not sufficiently elaborated or developed as to justify an Article, but which are still of considerable potential significance.

  • Comments and Replies (up to 5 journal pages). Comments are papers that point out errors of fact or interpretation in, or otherwise comment on, articles that previously appeared in ESA journals, or in articles or books that are the basis of numerous articles published in ESA journals. Submissions must contain no more than 16 manuscript pages. Special procedures have been established for preparation and review of comments and responses to comments. No abstract is necessary.

  • Data Papers (abstract up to 350 words). Data Papers should emphasize the collection, organization, synthesis, and thorough documentation of data sets of ecological value. Only the abstract appears in Ecology; the data and metadata are available through Ecological Archives. By providing a peer-review process for such Data Papers, ESA hopes to provide a high-profile outlet for data compilations and recognition for ecologists who create them. Special instructions for Data Papers explain how to prepare data and metadata.

  • Book Reviews (up to 2 journal pages).Book Reviews are short, scholarly evaluations of recently published books and monographs of interest to ecologists. Normally, book reviews are solicited by the Book Review Editor; please do not submit offers to review a specific book. If you wish to become a reviewer, please contact the Book Review Editor.
