Ethnobiology Letters

Aims & Scope

Ethnobiology Letters (EBL) invites manuscripts concerning ethnobiology, the study of the relationships between humans and environments in diverse spatial and temporal contexts. Article types are Research Communications; Interviews & Reflections; Perspective essays; Data, Methods & Taxonomies; Short Topical Reviews; and Reviews. Research Communications are short case studies that include description of methods, results, and brief discussion of the implications of results. Perspectives present scholarly opinions, memoirs, and scientific arguments relevant to ethnobiology. Interviews & Reflections communicate insights, perspectives, and thoughts in a conversational style and in diverse formats including personal essays, obituaries, memorials, and non-scientific opinion pieces. Data, Methods & Taxonomies portray innovative approaches and/or communicate ethnobiological data, such as plant taxa and linguistic notes. Short Topical Reviews critically review relevant literature on a narrow topic of particular interest or neglect in ethnobiology. Reviews evaluate texts, films, or exhibitions and assess their value within ethnobiology and related disciplines (see Books Available for Review). Longer research papers should be submitted for consideration to the Journal of Ethnobiology. Monographs and thematic edited volumes should be submitted to Contributions in Ethnobiology. Due to its scope and small size, the editors of Ethnobiology Letters do not extensively edit manuscripts. We require that authors who write in English as a second language have their papers edited prior to submission.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
