Are you interested in sharing with the ISE Community?
We are looking for contributions to the ISE Newsletter. We are interested in articles on research, communities and projects, current issues in Ethnobiology and practice, and ethnobiology in the news. Activities of related societies, profiles of ethnobiologists or community experts, and regional updates are also welcomed. Submissions should normally be in English, and written or co-written by a member of the ISE. Other languages may be considered on a case by case basis upon contacting the Editor or ISE Coordinator.
Regular features of the Newsletter will include:
- Notices of upcoming events
- Regional updates
- Spotlight on ISE members
- News from the Board
- Student News
Short news items or articles should be 150-250 words. They may incorporate links to additional material. Research
reports should be 350-500 words in length. Feature articles should be in the range of 700 to 1000 words, and, depending on the nature of the article, may include references. The reference style of the Journal of Ethnobiology is preferred. Please submit material in .doc, .docx or .rtf format, double spaced.
We welcome photographs or other graphics to accompany all submissions. Black and white or colour are both acceptable. In order to be of acceptable publishable quality, photographs need to be in .tif or high resolution .jpeg format, and should be 350 ppi or higher in resolution. Line art should be of appropriate quality, legibility and resolution. If you are unable to submit digital images of adequate quality, you can mail a good quality photograph to the ISE Coordinator who will digitize the image for inclusion in the Newsletter. If digital graphics files are too large to email, a CD with the images can be mailed to the Coordinator as well. Please contact the Coordinator for more information on submission of graphics. We will acknowledge receipt of your submission, and contact you if any changes are needed.
The Newsletter comes out three times per year (January, May, and September). For the May issue, the deadline for receipt of submissions is April 15. For the September issue, the deadline is August 15, and for the January issue, the deadline is December 1. Material that is not time sensitive can be submitted at any time.
We are also interested in ideas for theme issues of the Newsletter. If you are interested in editing a theme issue, please forward a proposal to the Editor or Coordinator and we can discuss timing and requirements.
For more information, please contact the Editor or the ISE Coordinator, and include “ISE Newsletter” in the subject line.
