General

 

Endangered Species Research (ESR) has grown dynamically and is now recognised as a central journal in this vital field. With its Editorial Board of acknowledged experts from around the world, it has already attracted papers on a wide range of subjects from over 40 countries. It publishes Research articles, Reviews, Invited Reviews and Notes, as well as Comments/Reply Comments, Theme Sections and As I See It.

 

ESR grants authors unusually fast publication of accepted manuscripts and provides instant worldwide visibility. The latest SCImago "Cites per Doc - 2 yr" (impact index) factor is 1.638.

 

History

 

ESR was founded in 2004 by Professor Otto Kinne as a major stage for publications on the ecology of endangered life, its requirements for survival, and its protection.

 

Aims

 

ESR aims at providing the knowledge needed for practising human stewardship. Human stewardship is one of the noblest duties of humanity and one of the greatest challenges to science. And it is a primary prerequisite for long-term survival of our species, Homo sapiens.

 

Effective stewardship can be achieved only if many people become actively involved, including people outside the scientific community. While insisting on scientific principles, ESR will help to motivate and inform individuals and groups who are prepared to participate in supporting endangered life.

 

Scope

 

ESR is international and interdisciplinary. It covers all endangered forms of life on Earth, the threats faced by species and their habitats and the necessary steps that must be undertaken to ensure their conservation. ESR publishes high quality contributions reporting research on all species (and habitats) of conservation concern, whether they be classified as Near Threatened or Threatened (Endangered or Vulnerable) by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) or highlighted as part of national or regional conservation strategies. Submissions on all aspects of conservation science are welcome.

 

We especially invite contributions that synthesise key areas. Suggestions for Theme Sections on emerging topics of importance are invited. All submitted manuscripts will be subject to a thorough review process involving at least three reviewers. Current acceptance rates are about 60%.

 

Please submit manuscripts through the online management system or via e-mail to the Editor-in-Chief via the ESR Managing Editor (for details consult GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS).

 

Criticism and advice are invited (address to the Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Brendan J. Godley B.J.Godley(at)exeter.ac.uk).
