Oxford Journals, a division of Oxford University Press (OUP), UK, has announced plans to launch a new online-only journal – The Journal of Biological Databases and Curation. Computational biologist David Landsmann will serve as the journal’s editor-in-chief.

Scheduled for launch in January 2009, the Journal of Biological Databases and Curation aims to strengthen the bridge between database developers and users. It seeks to provide a platform for ‘novel ideas in database research surrounding biological information.’ The journal will reportedly cover only open-access databases."

Conservation Letters

Submit your manuscript to Conservation Letters for maximum exposure

Fast, global and policy-relevant, Conservation Letters is a new, online-only scientific journal, published on behalf of the Society for Conservation Biology. Publishing empirical and theoretical research with significant implications for the conservation of biological diversity, the journal will draw on knowledge, tools and interactions from many disciplines – geography, ecology, evolution, mathematics, economics, psychology, sociology and anthropology among them.

Three types of article are published in Conservation Letters:

  • Letters: novel findings with high relevance for practice or policy
  • Mini-Reviews: overviews of emerging subjects that merit urgent coverage or succinct syntheses of important topics that are rarely encountered in the mainstream literature
  • Policy Perspectives: brief essays for a general audience on issues related to conservation and society
