Frontiers of Biogeography (FoB) is the scientific journal of the International Biogeography Society.  The society launched FoB to provide an independent forum for biogeographical science, with the academic standards expected of a journal operated by and for an academic society.

Key points:

• FoB offers a Gold-standard Open Access peer review journal, operated on a not-for-profit basis and published via the eScholarship (University of California) platform.
• FoB has migrated (October, 2017) to a newly enhanced platform, which includes fully searchable text, social media interfaces, direct dissemination efforts to biogeographers and greatly enhanced visibility through the standard search engines.
• FoB publishes both original research articles and a variety of other forms of article, consistent with the expanded array of article types and styles of contemporary science publishing.
• FoB offers a rigorous, fast, flexible and supportive review process and encourages submissions from all branches and schools of thought within biogeography.
• FoB is published quarterly (in March, June, September and December) at https://escholarship.org/uc/fb
• Full intellectual property rights are maintained by the authors.
• All articles published are open access. The publication costs are ~1/10th of the costs for open access in for profit journals, and complete cost waivers are granted upon request.  See an outline of costs below.
