Abstract
CITATION: Whittaker, R. J., et al. 2018. Frontiers of Biogeography : taking its place as a journal of choice for the publication of high quality biogeographical research articles. Frontiers of Biogeography, 10(1-2):e40499, doi:10.21425/F5FBG40499.
Highlights
The International Biogeography Society (IBS) is currently focusing on providing a higher level of support for the journal, to develop it as a repository for good quality and editorially well-curated biogeographical research publishing with the volume and regularity requisite with Journal Citation Reports (JCR) listing criteria
Journals with a primary focus on biogeography and related disciplines are among the most highly cited in Ecology, Evolution, Physical Geography or Biodiversity Conservation, to use some of the categories of Clarivate Analytics’ Journal Citation Reports (JCR)
This has resulted in competition for limited space in these journals, leaving an unmet need for much biogeographical research; that surplus has often been re-directed, at a hefty price, into second-tier open access ‘mega-journals’ that do not specialize in the subject matter
Summary
The IBS is currently focusing on providing a higher level of support for the journal, to develop it as a repository for good quality and editorially well-curated biogeographical research publishing with the volume and regularity requisite with JCR listing criteria. To support the development of the journal, we have renewed our editorial structure to substitute the former advisory board by an Advisory Council, initially comprising the President of the IBS, Dov Sax, and the former editors-in-chief of four leading international biogeography journals: David Currie, Carsten Rahbek, David Richardson and Robert J.
