About the journal
Restoration Ecology
|
Restoration Ecology fosters the exchange of ideas among the many disciplines involved in the process of ecological restoration. Addressing global concerns and communicating them to the international scientific community, the journal is at the forefront of a vital new direction in science and ecology. Original papers describe experimental, observational, and theoretical studies on terrestrial, marine, and freshwater systems, and are considered without taxonomic bias.
The primary emphasis of the journal is on ecological and biological restoration, and it also publishes papers on soils, water, air, and hydrologic functions. Edited by a distinguished panel, the journal continues to be a major conduit for research scientists to publish their findings in the fight to not only halt ecological damage, but also to ultimately reverse it.

Instructions to Authors
Restoration Ecology is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal published for the Society for Ecological Restoration International by Blackwell Publishing.
The journal publishes research papers, reviews, opinions of readers, and technical reports on the process of ecological restoration, defined as the intentional alteration of a site to establish a defined indigenous, historic ecosystem. The primary emphasis of the Journal is ecological and biological, but papers on restoration of soils, water, air, and hydrologic functions are also welcome. The editors encourage submission of manuscripts that emphasize a holistic approach and that deal with the highest level of biological integration--the human ecosystem.
Restoration Ecology will not distinguish between basic and applied research and encourages all contributors to consider both the practical and the more fundamental implications of their work. Papers may deal with work involving exotic species, as long as this is relevant to the restoration of a natural or historic community composed mainly of native species. In summary, the editors welcome manuscripts dealing with scientific and technical aspects of restoration including:
- Research on restoration and on ecological principles that help explain restoration processes,
- Descriptions of techniques that the author has pioneered and that are likely to be of use to other practicing restorationists,
- Review articles that summarize literature on specialized aspects of restoration,
- Commentary or analytical, more speculative than research but documented by literature.
Book reviews will be solicited by the Book Review Editor.
Texts of articles should conform to the following limits on length: Research papers: 3,000-5,000 words (6-10 journal pages); Reviews: no more than 5,000 words; Short communications: no more than 1,000 words (2 journal pages).
Submission of Manuscripts
All manuscripts and communications should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief: Dr. Edith B. Allen, Department of Botany & Plant Science, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521 USA. Manuscripts must be in English (U.S. spelling) and submitted exclusively to Restoration Ecology. If accepted, papers become copyright of the Journal and the Society. Authors must give signed consent for publication in a letter sent with the paper, but permission to use material elsewhere (e.g., in review articles) will normally be granted on request.
ONE ORIGINAL LETTER QUALITY HARDCOPY AND AN ELECTRONIC COPY (EMAIL ATTACHMENT, 3.5-INCH FLOPPY, CD OR ZIP DISK) SHOULD BE SUBMITTED. Text and tables should be in Microsoft Word. A list of suggested reviewers may be included with the cover letter. Authors should always retain a copy of all material. No submitted material will be returned, except for original artwork, upon written request. All text must be double-spaced, with margins of at least 1 ?. Number all pages. All papers will routinely be copyedited by the publisher.
The title page should state the author's name and affiliation and the complete address to which all correspondence and proofs should be sent. Telephone and fax numbers and email address for the corresponding author should also be supplied. Present addresses of authors should appear as a footnote. A running title of not more than 50 characters should be provided.
Abstracts
The abstract of research papers and reviews should be about 250 words (a single, separate manuscript page) and complete without reference to the text. The abstract should state concisely the goals, methods, principal results, and major conclusions of the paper. Key words for indexing should be listed at the end of the abstract.
Taxonomic Names
For organisms, cite scientific name followed by common name in parentheses. If no common name is available, include family name in parentheses. Thereafter, scientific names are recommended, but either may be used if used consistently.
Tables and Figures
Tables must be typed double-spaced, without vertical rules, and should not duplicate material in the text. Brief headings should be placed at the top of all tables. They should follow the Literature Cited section and be consecutively numbered within the manuscript.
Figures include original drawings and photographs and should be supplied to fit within either a single column or across the full page. The author’s name, the figure number, and an indication of orientation of the figure should be lightly penciled on the back of every figure. All illustrations, including lettering, should be capable of 66 to 50% reduction without loss of clarity or legibility. When possible, show statistical significance directly on tables and figures, to make interpretation easier for readers.
Photographs of research sites are encouraged for inclusion in articles since they are especially relevant in restoration ecology. Submit sharp, glossy, black-and-white photographs if possible. Color photographs can be printed in black and white. Photographs may be submitted as separate figures or in sets with a narrow white border between each photograph. Artwork will only be returned upon written request.
Figure legends should be typed double-spaced on a separate sheet. Figures follow tables, consecutively numbered.
Save all line artwork (vector graphics) as Encapsulated Postscript (EPS) and bitmap files (halftones or photographic images) as Tagged Image Format (TIFF), with a resolution of at least 300 dpi at final size. Do not send native file formats. More detailed information on the submission of electronic artwork can be found at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/authors/digill.asp.
All tables and figures must be called out within the text.
Cover Photograph
Authors may submit horizontal color photographs not less than 5 x 8 inches with a descriptive legend for possible use for the cover of the Journal. The same illustration may be used as a figure in the text.
Literature Cited
Only articles that have been published or are "in press" may be included in the Literature Cited. In the text, unpublished studies should be referred to as such or as a personal communication and should include an affiliation. Example: (R. Davis 1999, Harvard University, Boston, MA, personal communication). References in the text should be inserted in parentheses, in chronological order as follows: (Johnson & Van Cleve 1976; Cairns 1981; Plafkin et al. 1989). The reference list should be in alphabetical order according to first-named author. Papers with two authors should follow those of the first-named author, arranged in alphabetical order according to the name of the second author. Papers with more than two authors should follow in chronological order. All authors' names, dates, title of book or article, publisher and place of publication must be included. Do not use abbreviations. The following are examples:

BE SURE TO CROSS-CHECK ALL REFERENCES CITED IN THE TEXT WITH THOSE LISTED IN LITERATURE CITED BEFORE SUBMITTING MANUSCRIPT.
Proofs
Authors are expected to proofread their article promptly and carefully, correcting any printer's errors. Proofs should be returned within 48 hours of receipt. Because changes to typeset text are expensive, authors making excessive changes will be invoiced by the Publisher.
Page Charges
Page charges of $150 per page will be assessed for those with grants or institutional support for publication costs, $35 for those with limited support, $10 per page for those without grant support, but willing to pay at this rate, and waived for those who will sign a statement to the effect that they neither have institutional support for publication nor can afford $10 per page. These charges will be collected by the Publisher. An author's inability to pay will in no way influence whether his or her paper will be accepted for publication.
Offprints
The Publisher will supply the author with 25 free offprints. An offprint order form will be included with the page proofs, and authors may order further offprints in lots of 100.
