About the journal
Evolutionary Ecology Research is a partner of SPARC the Scholarly Publishing & Academic Resources Coalition of the Association of Research Libraries
SPARC is devoted to reducing the exploding costs of knowledge to the academic community that creates it in the first place. So is EER.
Each page of EER costs a library that subscribes less than $0.26 (US). That's a price that many thought became extinct with the dinosaurs! It is less than half the price often charged for similar scientific journals.
EER is showing that a commercial journal can succeed without profiteering.
Contact SPARC to learn how you can declare your independence and help maintain the liberal flow of new knowledge at reasonable cost.
Instructions to Authors
Before submitting manuscripts, it helps to send a copy of the title, abstract and approximate length to scarab@u.arizona.edu. We will advise by e-mail if the ms seems relevant to EER.
- Electronic submission. All files MUST be in pdf format. If they are not, or if I cannot easily read them the first time you send them, I will require hard-copy submission. I have no one to help me do this, so it is entirely your responsibility to get it right the first time. Please do not ask to try again. Attach your pdf files to an e-mail and send to scarab@u.arizona.edu.
- Hard-copy submission. Submit three double-spaced copies of manuscripts to Prof. M.L.Rosenzweig, Dept. Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 USA. Do not include original line drawings or photographs. Do not include a diskette of the ms. (When a paper is finally accepted, then supply diskettes in one of the following formats: Word, Wordperfect, Word for Mac.)
COPYRIGHT: EER maintains a pioneering and enlightened copyright policy that is designed to help your work obtain the widest possible use and influence. Consult our copyright policy and advise your society to adopt a similar one.
STYLE:
· Use English. Make it simple.
· Avoid long, complex sentences. (Break them up.)
· Use 'I' and 'me' if accurate.
· People from many subareas of biology read our journal. So keep jargon to the minimum that you absolutely need. And define all terms that might befuddle someone outside your narrow area. (Notice that I could have written the previous three sentences as one long sentence. Instead, I broke it into three simple sentences.)
· Use the active voice when you can. A good rule: Minimize the proportion of your sentences using the verb 'to be'. For example, write 'depends on' instead of 'is dependent on'.
· Treat abstract sentences like a disease. Cure them. For example, write 'species diversity declines at increasing latitude', not 'species diversity is related to latitude'. Make your sentences convey information.
· Use bullet lists wherever they improve comprehension and readability.
Follow these few rules. They will improve the impact of your work.
Please be aware that we cannot afford the time to rewrite your ms. The editors will judge whether the style of an ms makes it too hard to understand. If so, they may reject it. We have no appeal process to change their decisions.
FIGURES: Make figures simple too. Use large labels that allow for reduction. Remember, the type page is only 195 × 135 mm. Where possible, organize multiple figures horizontally. This will save space.
ORGANIZATION: Start with the abstract. Tell your story. Review the literature only as necessary. Use no more than two levels of headings. End with acknowledgements and references.

COMMENTS: EER also publishes comments of no more than two printed pages. Comments discuss a paper previously published in EER.
Comments have no abstract. They include all their references within the body of the text, omitting titles of papers and names of publishers (e.g. Hodges and Arnold, 1995, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. B, 262: 343-348). They do not have a separate reference list.
Authors of comments criticizing the work of others must show written evidence that they discussed the issues with those others, but could not resolve their differences.
PAGE CHARGES: None.
REPRINTS: After we publish your article, we will send you a copy of the issue in which it appears. We shall also send you the PDF file from which we printed your ms. You are free to make as many reprints as you like using either the hard copy or the PDF file. You own the copyright.
