Aims & Scope

HER will not publish manuscripts that are purely biophysical nor ones that are purely sociocultural and it will not publish manuscripts that are monodisciplinary or specialisations to a specific discipline. Authors are strongly encouraged to make clear their manuscript’s connection to an understanding of human ecology and human ecological scholarship more broadly.
