SCB journals
The Society for Conservation Biology seeks to strategically manage a portfolio of Society owned journals, and broader affiliations, that deliver meaningful benefits to our members and broader discipline. To guide strategic choices in these relationships the Society considers four types of relationships detailed here and communicates these relationships through clear branding conventions so that publishing partners and members can make considered choices in publication opportunities.
The SCB journals are:
- Conservation Biology is the leading journal in the field of conservation. Launched in 1987, Conservation Biology is owned by the Society and remains our flagship journal. Its ground-breaking research articles, essays, and reviews develop new theory and methods, define key problems, and propose solutions, exploring the social, ecological, and philosophical dimensions of the conservation of biological diversity. The journal offers globally relevant novel insights, approaches, and syntheses.
- Conservation Letters is an online scientific journal that publishes empirical and theoretical research with immediate implications for the conservation of biological diversity worldwide. SCB launched this Wiley owned journal in 2008 to fill the unmet need in the conservation category to be our version of Ecology Letters. The journal's concise papers are renowned for their originality, timeliness, and influence on policy debates and management solutions.
- Conservation Science and Practice publishes papers that address the policy, planning, and practice of conserving biological diversity. Launched in 2019, the journal is Society owned and is the newest source for emerging conservation ideas. The journal publishes papers that expand conservation knowledge ranging from practical experience to advances in theory. The journal places special emphasis on studies that connect findings to conservation outcomes to address which strategies work as well as which strategies fail.
