Abstract
The Editorial presents the focus, scope, policies, and the inaugural issue of NeoBiota, a new open access peer-reviewed journal of biological invasions. The new journal NeoBiota is a continuation of the former NEOBIOTA publication series. The journal will deal with all aspects of invasion biology and impose no restrictions on manuscript size neither on use of color. NeoBiota implies an XML-based editorial workflow and several cutting-edge innovations in publishing and dissemination, such as semantic markup of and enhancements to published texts, data publication, and extensive cross-linking within the journal and to external sources.
Highlights
Introduced species have significant biodiversity impacts across all scales ranging from individual genes to global species declines that are shaped by a range of evolutionary, ecological, economic and societal mechanisms
The journal will deal with all aspects of invasion biology and impose no restrictions on manuscript size neither on use of color
Despite much success in research on invasion biology, some scientists have claimed that this type of specialized research is uninformative and have suggested that it be integrated into more general ecological sub-disciplines (Marris 2009; Davis et al 2011; Thompson and Davis 2011), which was vigorously opposed (e.g. Pyšek and Hulme 2009; Hulme et al 2011; Simberloff et al 2011; van Kleunen et al 2011)
Summary
