Apply to the Frontiers of Biogeography Editorial Board!

Call to TIBS members:

Would you like to become an editor for Frontiers of Biogeography, the scientific journal of The International Biogeography Society?

The journal is seeking new editors to join the existing international team of editors and, in particular, invites members (past or current) of TIBS to contact the editor in chief, Robert Whittaker (robert.whittaker@nullouce.ox.ac.uk), with expressions of interest by 20^th July.

The journal, which is fully owned by TIBS, was launched in 2009 and transitioned to the Pensoft, ARPHA platform in 2024. It is a fully Open Access journal and it currently has a Clarivate WoS impact factor of 2.5, and a Scopus CiteScore of 5.7. Both TIBS and Pensoft are keen to develop the journal further to become a natural home for biogeographers to publish their work, embracing all major schools of thought and categories of biogeographical science, with the rigour expected from the publication of a learned society. To that end, we are keen to expand the existing editorial board, adding to the existing portfolio of subject editor expertise, while fostering diversity across geographic regions, schools of thought, and demographic backgrounds, recognizing that a broad range of perspectives strengthens both the journal and the discipline.

Editors help shape the journal both through their engagement in the review process and in encouraging submissions and special (‘topical’) issues. If you have an active interest in the review and evaluation process, and experience relevant to the role, please do get in touch.

Information about the journal, its editorial policies, current editorial board, and all articles published since July 2024, can be found on the Frontiers of Biogeography website.
