Submission types
Human Dimensions of Wildlife accepts the following types of submissions:
· Research Articles (most common submission) introduce and advance human dimensions concepts and theories related to wildlife and / or fisheries. The primary purpose is to offer empirical support for these theoretical or conceptual advancements explored. The secondary, but also important, purpose is to inform research, management, policy, and education related to wildlife and / or fisheries. (Maximum length = 30 typed double-spaced pages in APA format inclusive of title page, abstract page, body text, references, tables / figures)
· Review Articles summarize previous empirical and theoretical findings in a critical topic area related to human dimensions of wildlife and / or fisheries. The primary purpose is to synthesize previous research and literature, provide integrative interpretations, and propose theoretical and / or methodological advancements in the area addressed. (Maximum length = 30 typed double-spaced pages in APA format inclusive of title page, abstract page, body text, references, tables / figures)
· Methodological Articles examine issues such as validity and reliability surrounding implementation of human dimensions studies in wildlife and / or fisheries. These articles might identify sources of method error in currently used techniques, or introduce new methodological techniques to this field. (Maximum length = 20 typed double-spaced pages in APA format inclusive of title page, abstract page, body text, references, tables / figures)
· Opinion Pieces are an outlet for expressing opinions, sharing new ideas, and presenting philosophical discourses that organize and illustrate data. The purpose is to present a persuasive and logical essay from an author’s perspective. Judgment will be based on uniqueness and originality, timeliness, insight, and relevancy to wildlife and / or fisheries management. (Maximum length = 15 typed double-spaced pages in APA format inclusive of title page, abstract page, body text, references, tables / figures)
· Research Notes are shorter than standard research articles because they focus less heavily on advancing human dimensions concepts and theories related to wildlife and / or fisheries. Rather, the primary purpose is to present unique and substantive empirical findings related to a critical issue or case study in wildlife and / or fisheries, and also to discuss these findings in relation to research, management, policy, education, and / or other relevant applications. (Maximum length = 15 typed double-spaced pages in APA format inclusive of title page, abstract page, body text, references, tables / figures)
· Findings Abstracts promote the awareness and use of research findings that typically may not always be published in refereed journals. These might include abstracts of dissertations, agency reports, and private consultant research. Abstracts must be based on data and include a study purpose, methods, findings, and conclusions that primarily highlight managerial (not usually theoretical or conceptual) applications. (Maximum length = 5 typed double-spaced pages in APA format inclusive of title page, body text, and any references and tables / figures [do not include a separate abstract] )
· Book Reviews critically evaluate the contents of a recently published book focusing on topics related to human dimensions of wildlife and / or fisheries. (Maximum length = 5 typed double-spaced pages in APA format)
