[15]Focus and Scope

   Ecology and Society is an electronic, peer-reviewed, multi-, inter-, and
   trans-disciplinary journal devoted to the dissemination of current research on
   social-ecological systems and resilience. As the world faces ever more pervasive
   and severe crises linked to the interdependencies between people and nature,
   creativity, analysis, and action on sustainability across the globe are more
   urgent than ever. The journal seeks papers that are novel, integrative, and
   written in a way that is accessible to a wide audience that includes scientists
   and practitioners, from an array of disciplines from the natural sciences, social
   sciences, and the humanities concerned with the relationship between society and
   the life-supporting ecosystems on which human well-being ultimately depends.

   We welcome contributions from a wide range of scientific disciplines in natural
   and social sciences and arts and humanities, but especially those that are inter-
   and trans-disciplinary. We are keen to include collaborative work of different
   kinds, between scientists and practitioners and across different knowledge
   domains. Papers must be original and should address core issues of sustainability
   of social-ecological systems, which may be assessed at different scales and in
   diverse contexts.

   Content of the journal includes applied, theoretical, experimental, and
   experiential contributions. Papers should cover topics relating to the
   ecological, political, and social dimensions of social-ecological systems.
   Specifically, the journal publishes articles that present research findings on
   the following issues: (a) the current status of the complex interactions between
   nature and society, (b) the biophysical, social, and political drivers of the
   (un)sustainable dynamics of social-ecological systems as well as those that
   foster (or prevent) their resilience, (c) the means by which we can develop and
   sustain desired future pathways.

   Ecology and Society strives for a rich, respectful, and nurturing peer-review
   process that fosters quality, relevance, and impact through in-depth feedback to
   authors. As articles are accepted, they are published in an "Issue in Progress".
   At four-month intervals, the Issue-in-Progress is declared a New Issue, and
   subscribers receive the table of contents of the issue via email.

   We encourage the publication of Special Features. Special Features comprise a set
   of manuscripts that address a single theme and include an introductory and
   summary manuscript. We seek Special Features that significantly advance the
   vision of the journal by providing cohesive, robust, and innovative contributions
   to the field of social-ecological systems resilience and/or the dynamics of
   complex systems of people and nature. The individual contributions are published
   in regular issues, and the Special Feature manuscripts are linked through a table
   of contents and announced on the journal's main page.

   Section Policies - Manuscript Types
   [CircleArrow.svg] See Bio [DropdownArrow_dark.svg]

[16]Manuscript Types

1. Research Articles

   Peer-reviewed papers present the results of original research. The core article
   is recommended not to exceed 5000 words (longer articles will incur extra word
   fees) but may contain a reasonable number of appendices of any kind (e.g.,
   traditional items such as tables, graphs, and written expansions on the main
   text, as well as items such as downloadable models or statistical software,
   computer animations of model output, videos, audios, maps, and original
   databases) as appropriate.

2. Insights

   Insight articles present exciting analyses and perspectives that might be
   emerging "outside the box" thinking, representing novelty and new directions or
   alternative views. They may include non-traditional forms of knowledge, methods,
   or approaches. They are clear, succinct, and well-argued - thorough and rigorous
   but perhaps in non-conventional ways. They are not "opinions". Insight articles
   provide space for voices and experiential knowledge from, amongst others,
   indigenous peoples, practitioners, activists, and artists. Insights are
   peer-reviewed and should be accessible to a wide audience and undergo similar
   ethical procedures as all other papers published in the journal. Authors are
   encouraged not to exceed 3000 words.

3. Synthesis

   Synthesis articles bring different bodies of knowledge together in novel ways.
   They are not reviews. They are comprehensive and may integrate elements that
   historically have been considered separately, in order to suggest new
   opportunities for theory, policy, and/or practice. They may propose new research
   frameworks, but they should be based on bringing together or applying concepts in
   a novel way, and/or have a strong empirical basis or applicability. These papers
   should not exceed 7000 words maximum in length.

   *Authors submitting to Special Features: please use the manuscript types:
   research, insight, or synthesis.

Guest Editorial

   The Special Features are introduced by a guest editorial written by the SF
   editors. This is a summary of the contributions to the Special Feature. It
   highlights the relevance of the collection as well as the implications of the
   contributions made. These editorials are not peer-reviewed.

   (BUTTON) Special Features - Description and Guidelines for Proposals
   [CircleArrow.svg] See Bio [DropdownArrow_dark.svg]

[17]Special Features

   Special Features are a set of manuscripts subject to peer review that cover a
   similar topic, and that are solicited, collected, and edited by a Special Feature
   Editor (or team of editors, who are invited to play the role of Guest Subject
   Editor). Unless otherwise agreed upon, special feature articles are published as
   they are ready across multiple issues and then compiled and presented on a
   special page dedicated to that feature. Special Features are expected to gather
   complementary high-quality articles that inform the readership about a
   particularly novel or relevant topic.

   Special Features, though focused on a particular subject area, should capture a
   diversity of thought and approach. We encourage a diverse authorship for the
   different papers of a Special Feature. Please be explicit about the criteria used
   to assign authorship when the same author participates in multiple papers of a
   Special Feature. This helps ensure that a breadth of views is captured within a
   Feature as whole.

   If you are interested in submitting a proposal for a Special Feature, please
   e-mail the following information to the Managing Editor
   (managing_editor@ecologyandsociety.org):
     * Define the focus and objectives of the Special Feature;
     * Showcase the expected novelty or relevance of the Special Feature
     * Identify the Special Feature Editor(s);
     * Give the titles and abstracts of papers to be submitted as part of the
       Special Feature (minimum of 8 papers and 1 editorial);
     * Indicate whether the feature will be open to additional non-solicited
       contributions.
     * Alternatively, identify the mechanism through which a call for contributions
       will open (including the criteria for choosing high quality and highly
       relevant proposals, and the timeline until the identification of the final
       list of papers that will be included in the Special Feature); and
     * Indicate the source of funding for the Special Feature. Article fees may be
       paid for individually by the respective authors, or collectively by the
       Special Feature Editor

Special Feature Editor Role and Responsibilities

   A Special Feature Editor is a Subject Editor selected by the EIC(s) to oversee
   the review of a special feature issue. The responsibilities of a Special Feature
   Editor include:
     * Finalizing the focus and objectives of the Special Feature, together with the
       Editors-in-Chief;
     * Ensuring the high quality of the papers to be submitted to the Special
       Feature (a minimum of 8), of a careful, constructive, and thorough revision
       process;
     * Peer reviews should assist the editor in making editorial decisions and may
       also assist the author in improving the paper. We appreciate the time and
       effort that careful reviewing demands and are grateful for reviewers to
       provide in-depth comments as well as constructive and respectful suggestions
       to help authors and editors alike.
     * Deciding upon a deadline for manuscript submissions to the Special Feature
       with the help of the managing editor.

   Keeping the Special Feature on time will be contingent upon:
     * All submissions should be received within a 6-week window,

     * Reviewers will be found in a timely manner,

     * Resubmission of revisions will be due within 4 months,

     * Editorial (if included) must be submitted within 4 months of a decision on
       the final paper.

     * Making financial arrangements with the Managing Editor to cover the cost of
       publishing a Special Feature through either institutional funding or direct
       collection of fees from published authors. Articles will be charged at the
       going rate (see "Article Fees").

   (BUTTON) Publication Frequency [CircleArrow.svg] See Bio [DropdownArrow_dark.svg]

   Regular issues are published 4 times annually, with issues available as "in
   progress" as soon as articles are published. Special feature issues are published
   separately throughout the year.

   Author Fees, Waivers, and Refunds
   [CircleArrow.svg] See Bio [DropdownArrow_dark.svg]

[18]Fees, Waivers, and Refunds

   Resilience Alliance is not for profit. Articles published in E&S are available
   free to readers. Therefore, to cover our costs there is a charge for publication.

   The base fee for an accepted article submitted after 1 January 2024 is $1100 US
   for the first 5000 words. Articles between 5000 and 6000 words will be charged an
   extra $100 US and another $100 for articles between 6000 and 7000 words, etc.,
   that is, an extra $100 for every 1000 words. Invoices sent to Canadian addresses
   will include GST/HST. There is no charge for manuscripts that are not accepted
   for publication and no submission charge. A limited number of full or partial
   waivers may be granted if all authors live and work in developing countries.
   Waivers may also be granted to students if they are the sole author of the paper.
   Waivers must be granted before submission.

   Note: articles submitted before 1 January 2024 retain the older article fee of
   $975 US (plus extra word fees as applicable). An annual increase of approximately
   3% will take effect on the first day of the year beginning on 1 January 2025 and
   yearly thereafter.

   Word counts are based on the number of words in the abstract and main text only
   (not including the Literature Cited, tables, figures, or appendices). Payment
   must be received before an article can be published. Please address questions
   regarding the fee policy to: managing_editor@ecologyandsociety.org.

   The minimum cost for creating errata is $50 US. Please look over the proofs
   carefully, especially the tables and figures.

   If your manuscript has been accepted for publication in our regular issue, we
   will send you an invoice. If your manuscript has been accepted for publication in
   a special feature, either the author or the editor will be sent the invoice
   depending on how the feature has been arranged.

Refunds

   Authors may withdraw their article at anytime prior to copy editing for a partial
   refund. Once the copy editing process has been initiated, no refund will be
   issued.

   (BUTTON) Peer Review Process [CircleArrow.svg] See Bio [DropdownArrow_dark.svg]

   The Editor-in-Chief makes an initial appraisal of each manuscript. If the topic
   and treatment seem potentially appropriate for the journal, and the quality of
   the manuscript is deemed sufficient, the manuscript is assigned to a Subject
   Editor familiar with the manuscript topic who oversees the review process. Once
   the review process has been completed, the Subject Editor recommends acceptance,
   revision, or rejection of your manuscript. The final decision is made by the
   Editor-in-Chief.

   Ecology and Society has a "double-blind" [21]review process: authors are not told
   who reviewed their paper and reviewers are not told who wrote the paper. Peer
   reviewers are informed of the identity of the authors after the manuscript is
   either accepted or rejected. After a decision is reached, a reviewer is free to
   contact the authors privately about the manuscript.

   A decision on the manuscript generally may be expected within three months of
   submission; delays in obtaining reviews may prolong this process. Ecology and
   Society strives to improve the quality, relevance, and impact of the
   contributions through an inclusive and caring peer-review process.

   Editor Responsibilities and Guidelines for Editors
   [CircleArrow.svg] See Bio [DropdownArrow_dark.svg]

Publication Decisions

   The journal has a double-blind review process that is overseen by a Subject
   Editor who makes a recommendation on the manuscript to the Editor-in-Chief. That
   recommendation can include rejection from the desk of the Subject Editor without
   further review. The Editor-in-Chief has the authority and responsibility to
   accept, reject, or request revisions to the manuscript. Core criteria concern
   scope - the extent to which the manuscript fits with the aims and scope of the
   journal in terms of topic and approach and adheres to the format of the
   manuscript type; and quality - that it demonstrates coherence, rigor, and
   originality, and that it is accessible to a broad readership and conforms to
   highest standards of ethics and respectful research.

Confidentiality

   The editor and any editorial staff will ensure that information regarding
   submitted manuscripts is kept confidential.

Fair Review

   Editors will evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard
   to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin,
   citizenship, age, or political philosophy of the authors.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

   Unpublished materials in submitted manuscripts must not be used by the editor in
   their own research without the written consent of the author.

Inclusiveness

   We are committed to diversifying understandings of social-ecological systems and
   presenting plural perspectives on resilience. This means that we may invest extra
   time and resources to support authors from outside conventional centers of
   academy and research, including those for whom English is not their first
   language, or researchers who do not have access to the training needed to produce
   high-quality academic publications. On occasion when we judge that the
   submissions show great promise (in terms of novelty, quality of supporting data,
   etc.), we might work extensively with authors over several submissions and this
   may take considerable time to produce a publishable manuscript. We aim to nurture
   a new generation of social-ecological system resilience scholars who represent a
   global and diverse set of voices to forward inclusive, innovative visions of
   sustainability.

Guidelines for Subject Editors

   Subject Editors are very important actors in making Ecology and Society a
   successful and exciting journal. You do critical work and are valuable members of
   the E&S team, bringing diverse knowledge and expertise to support the aims of the
   journal.

   Please access the web interface as detailed above under "Guidance for Reviewers".

   Your task is to:
    1. Assess whether you have the expertise to handle the manuscript. Please make a
       decision on whether you will act as Subject Editor for a manuscript as soon
       as possible so that if we need to find another SE we can do so quickly.
    2. Make an initial assessment of whether a manuscript is within the scope and
       likely to be of interest and publishable in the journal. In other words, is
       it of a sufficient standard to be sent for review? If you do not judge it to
       be in scope, or that it is not of sufficient quality, then you can reject it
       before sending it for review.
    3. Allocate reviewers using the online system. You may add new reviewers if you
       can't find specific expertise or if you know individuals who are not already
       in our database. The system automatically generates and sends invitations to
       reviewers. Please avoid obvious conflicts - for example, a reviewer at the
       same institution as the authors. We encourage a diversity of reviewers from
       different parts of the world, different backgrounds, and different career
       stages. Please note that obtaining at least two different reviews may entail
       inviting as many as 10 reviewers; you may change the number of required
       reviewers so that you can simultaneously send out 4 or more invitations to
       speed up the process.
    4. Assess the review comments and make a recommendation to the Editor-in-Chief.
       To do so, do make sure you have read the article and have a personal opinion
       on it and on the comments from reviewers. Please add your detailed and
       constructive comments and provide clear instructions on how a manuscript can
       be improved and what changes are necessary, emphasizing which comments are
       particularly important.
    5. If manuscripts are revised and re-submitted, again assess whether they need
       further external review. If necessary, invite further reviewers or send to
       original reviewers, or make a recommendation to the EIC. Repeat this process
       until a final recommendation can be made.
    6. Please contact the managing editor or EIC if you have any queries or are
       unsure about your options or a decision.
    7. There are options within the online system for you to directly contact the
       authors and reviewers. You will not be anonymous.
    8. Please treat manuscripts with absolute confidentiality, and please aim at all
       times for respectful and helpful comments.

   Reviewer Responsibilities and Guidelines for Reviewers
   [CircleArrow.svg] See Bio [DropdownArrow_dark.svg]

R[22]eviewer Contribution to Editorial Decisions

   Peer reviews should assist the editor in making editorial decisions and may also
   assist the author in improving the paper. We appreciate the time and effort that
   careful reviewing demands and are grateful for reviewers to provide in-depth
   comments as well as constructive and respectful suggestions to help authors and
   editors alike.

Manuscript number

   Please make note of this number and use it when corresponding with the Managing
   Editor or Subject Editor about the manuscript.

Manuscript type and length

   Different manuscript types have different styles and length requirements. If a
   manuscript exceeds the posted word length limit, please bring it to the Subject
   Editor's attention.

Confidentiality

   This manuscript is a privileged communication. Please do not show it to anyone or
   discuss it, except to solicit assistance with a technical point. If you feel a
   colleague is more qualified than you to review the paper, do not pass the
   manuscript on to that person without first requesting permission to do so. Your
   review and your recommendation should also be considered confidential.

Time

   In fairness to the author(s), you should return your review within 3 weeks. If it
   seems likely that you will be unable to meet this deadline, please request an
   extension or notify the journal of your inability to complete the review in the
   specified time using the "Request Extension" button.

Conflicts of interest

   If you feel you might have any difficulty writing an objective review, please use
   the decline to review by selecting the "Unable to do the review" button on this
   page. If your previous or present connection with the author(s) or an author's
   institution might be construed as creating a conflict of interest, but no actual
   conflict exists, please mention this issue in the "Comments to the editor"
   section at the beginning of your review.

Guidelines for Reviewers

   The peer-review process is critical to identifying the quality of the papers and
   the potential for improvement of the submitted version.

   Your task is the following:
    1. Assess the quality, relevance, and novelty of the manuscript based on its
       careful and thorough analysis of the manuscript (see details below under
       comments to the author[s]),
    2. Submit a brief, candid summary of your opinion of the paper to the editor (in
       the appropriate section)
    3. Submit your assessment into the rating sheet, and your recommendation on
       whether to accept, reject, or request revision, and
    4. Submit your comments for the author (please do not include your
       recommendation to accept or reject the paper in this section).

   Please make sure that you have read the explanation of Focus and Scope and
   Manuscript Types, have read a few of our papers, and are familiar with the aims
   of the journal and formats we publish.

Comments for the author(s)

   The aim of this process is to ensure that only papers of the highest quality,
   relevance, and novelty are published in the journal, and to identify concrete
   ways in which those papers with the greatest potential can be significantly
   strengthened.

   Please include both general and specific comments bearing on the following
   questions:
    1. Is the paper a relevant contribution to the focus and scope of the journal?
    2. Is the paper based on a sound analysis of the literature (e.g., critical
       overview, conceptual/analytical framework), on a robust analytical approach
       (e.g., reliable and consistent methodologies to gather and/or analyze data),
       and is the main message and the conclusions well supported?
    3. Is the paper innovative, in terms of the topic addressed and/or the arguments
       that support it and/or in the way the paper was developed (e.g., does the
       paper report on data or ideas that have been widely explored)?
    4. Does the paper tell a cohesive story, with a clear message that is tightly
       reasoned throughout the different sections?
    5. Is the paper accessible to a wide audience that includes scientists and
       practitioners and written in a way that is easy to follow and interesting?
    6. Is the current length of the manuscript appropriate (e.g., does the
       manuscript greatly exceed the posted word limits; what portions of the paper
       should be expanded, condensed, combined, or deleted; is the division between
       the main article and the appendices appropriate)?
    7. Does the introduction adequately frame the objectives of the manuscript with
       the current state of the knowledge and in ways that are potentially of
       interest to the readership of the journal?
    8. Are the objectives adequate (e.g., clearly stated; feasible; coherent with
       the introduction, the methods used, consistent with the results obtained;
       concordant with the conclusions)?
    9. Are the methods (for gathering and analyzing data and/or for undertaking
       syntheses) robust and adequate (e.g., reliable; consistent with the
       objectives and the conceptual/analytical framework; adequate sample, data
       analyses; adequately applied)?
   10. Is the data clearly presented (e.g., are all the figures, tables, and
       appendices necessary; can you verify easily the results stated in the text;
       can they be read easily, legible, and clearly labeled; can they be
       simplified; are there any contradictions)?
   11. Is the discussion well-grounded in the results and of interest to a wide
       readership (e.g., does it invite/explore new ideas and implications)?
   12. What are the major strengths and weaknesses (please be as specific as
       possible of the manuscript in its current version, including the title,
       abstract, keywords, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion) and what is
       the potential for the paper to significantly improve?

   (BUTTON) Author Responsibilities [CircleArrow.svg] See Bio
   [DropdownArrow_dark.svg]

Data Access and Retention

   This journal has a Data and Code Availability Statement requirement. All authors
   are invited to make available all relevant data and code underlying the findings
   described in their manuscript. The journal requires all authors to include a data
   and code availability statement that is published with the article.

Originality and Plagiarism

   The authors must ensure they submit entirely original works. If the authors use
   the work or words of others in their manuscript, they must ensure that this has
   been appropriately cited or quoted.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication

   It is the author's responsibility to ensure their submission has not been
   published elsewhere, nor is it presently under consideration by another journal.

Authorship of Paper

   Authors include all those who have made significant contributions to the
   manuscript. The types of contributions can be very diverse and include:
   conceiving and undertaking research, contributing embodied knowledge,
   operationalizing actions toward more sustainable pathways, co-producing knowledge
   and solutions, analyzing data, writing, or revising the manuscript. The
   corresponding author will verify with co-authors their full names and
   affiliations and ensure that all co-authors have approved the final version of
   the paper for publication.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted Writing Tools

   The use of AI tools can assist with data gathering, data analysis, and manuscript
   preparation. Yet, the use of these tools also poses ethical challenges that will
   be assessed on a one-by-one basis by the journal's Editors in Chief.

   The use of AI generative or AI-assisted technology, such as large language models
   or LLMs (e.g., ChatGPT), in the writing process must be properly documented and
   acknowledged in your manuscript. For example, these tools may be used to assist
   translation and/or to check grammar and spelling. Documentation should be
   included in the "Acknowledgements" section.

   The use of AI and AI-assisted tools in formal research design, analysis, and
   research methods should be detailed in the "Methods" section of the main text.

   We do not accept AI authorship or AI-assisted authorship. Authorship implies
   responsibilities that can only be attributed to humans.

   We do not permit AI-generated images.

   We will continue to monitor developments in AI technologies and amend our
   guidance as appropriate.

Acknowledgment of Sources and Support

   Authors should acknowledge the work of others that has been influential to their
   manuscript and properly cite the work. Each citation in the text must be included
   in the Literature Cited section and every reference in the Literature Cited must
   be referred to in the text. We also encourage authors to acknowledge the support
   received by diverse stakeholders, including informants and respondents,
   translators, and interpreters, involved in different stages of research.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

   All sources of financial support should be disclosed and any substantive
   conflicts of interest should be included in a statement.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works

   It is the author's obligation to notify the journal editor of any significant
   error or inaccuracy in their published work and to cooperate with the editor to
   deal with the issue either by retracting the paper or adding an erratum.

Submission Check List

   It is the author's responsibility to read and follow all items on the journal's
   Submission Preparation Checklist prior to submitting their manuscript.

Undertaking Respectful Research

   We require that research must have been approved by appropriate institutions and
   according to accepted procedures. This includes, for example, the Institutional
   Review Board, ethics committee, Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee
   (IACUC), local authorities, government research bureau, or others. We expect
   authors to have gone beyond established permissions or clearances, and to have
   undertaken research in ways that are fully respectful of all the people involved
   and potentially affected by it. This needs to be clearly described and evidenced
   in the article. Free Prior and Informed Consent of participants should be sought
   in culturally appropriate ways. Reciprocity and care should be promoted at all
   stages of research, including sharing resources, undertaking inclusive and
   meaningful consultations, honoring embodied local knowledge, ensuring the
   protection of confidential and/or sensitive information, and accepting and
   appreciating differences.
