Conservation Letters
As you explore your publication options in the coming year, I  
encourage you to submit a manuscript to Conservation Letters.  Your  
work on the social aspects of tropical conservation is well suited to  
our new journal.
Forthcoming in early 2008, Conservation Letters is a scientific  
journal publishing empirical and theoretical research with  
significant implications for the conservation of biological  
diversity. The journal welcomes submissions across the biological and  
social sciences – especially interdisciplinary submissions – that  
advance pragmatic conservation goals as well as scientific  
understanding. With a turnaround time of 4-5 months from submission  
to publication, Conservation Letters is designed to facilitate rapid  
communication among social scientists, researchers in other  
disciplines, and conservation practitioners.

Conservation Letters promises to be a landmark publication, steered  
by an Editorial Board of leading scholars from across the social and  
natural sciences.    Social science Editors include Bill Adams, Arun  
Agrawal, Amara Brook, Patrick Christie, Tom Dietz, Sandra Jonker,  
Rick Krannich, Kendra McSweeney, Gene Myers, Subhrendu Pattanayak,  
David Pellow, Steve Polasky, Sarah Pralle, Diane Russell, and Paige  
West.

We seek submissions in the following paper categories:
·       Letters: novel scientific findings with high relevance for  
conservation practice or policy
·       Mini-Reviews: overviews of emerging subjects that merit  
urgent coverage or succinct syntheses of important topics that are  
rarely encountered in the mainstream literature
·       Policy Perspectives: brief essays for a general audience on  
issues related to conservation and society

To ensure rapid, widespread dissemination of conservation research to  
scholars and practitioners around the world, Conservation Letters  
will be available for free in 2008. For additional general  
information, please see our website (www.conservationletters.com).   
If you have any specific questions, please contact me or the  
journal’s Managing Editor, Jennifer Mahar
