WHAT WILL EcoHealth PUBLISH?
EcoHealth publishes high quality papers that reflect the broad Aims and Scope of the journal. Papers are reviewed rapidly; the time from submission to publication is exceptionally fast. Papers are printed in hard copy and on the web. Word limits are adhered to strictly, but consideration will be given to studies that have significant additional material.
- Original Contributions. Papers that make a substantial, original contribution to research in one or more of the EcoHealth thematic areas constitute the major body of each issue of EcoHealth. Papers presenting novel research on areas of policy or practice are also considered. 3000-4000 words (excluding abstract, references, figures) and abstract no longer than 200 words
- Reviews. EcoHealth will consider occasional reviews. Reviews should not focus on the author’s own work, but set the scene for the field by providing an objective review of the literature and synthesizing recent developments in the field. Prospective review authors should first email a query addressed to the Editor-in-Chief including a brief description of the concept and an abstract. All manuscripts undergo peer review. 4000-word limit and abstract no longer than 200 words.
- Short Communications. Papers which present research results of immediate relevance to EcoHealth. Short Communications do not require in-depth discussion of methods and highly technical analyses as would an Original Contribution. Short Communications do not include section headings (“Methods”, “Discussion”, etc.), and have a 1500-word limit with an abstract not to exceed 100 words.
- Forum. Papers that present a well-argued point of view on any scientific or policy issue related to EcoHealth Aims and Scope. Prospective authors should first email a query addressed to the Editor-in-Chief including a brief description of the concept. Forum manuscripts undergo peer review for content accuracy, objectivity, and rigor. 1500 word limit, no abstract
- Book Reviews. EcoHealth publishes reviews of books that touch on or otherwise involve the journal’s Aims and Scope. Prospective authors should first email a query addressed to the Book Review Editor. 1200-word limit.
- What’s New? Brief news reports, updates, and literature highlights regarding topical issues and initiatives in research, practice, and policy. Must include contact person and website as relevant. 200-word limit.
- Cover Art and Cover Essay. Each EcoHealth issue will feature cover art and an associated essay. The images on the cover may be drawn from the work of visual artists, but may also encompass still pictures from models and simulations used to explore possible futures, or photographs, which capture current investigations at a particularly resonant moment. The cover essay explores similar terrain along with providing textual accompaniment to that in the artwork. 1000-word limit.
- Letters to the Editor. Readers and contributors to EcoHealth are encouraged to write brief letters on relevant topics or in response to material and manuscripts published in EcoHealth. 1000-word limit
