Feature Review Papers in Ecology

Dear Colleagues,

Following the recent indexing of the journal Ecologies in Scopus and the achievement of its first impact factor (1.7), we are pleased to announce a new Special Issue dedicated to review articles highlighting the latest developments in ecology.

Review papers play a crucial role in synthesizing knowledge, identifying research gaps, and fostering new perspectives. For this Special Issue, we invite comprehensive review articles on multidisciplinary topics in ecology, aligned with the journal’s scope. There is no restriction on manuscript length, as our goal is to encourage detailed overviews that provide valuable insights into your research field.

We particularly welcome review articles that synthesize current knowledge, challenge existing paradigms, and propose new frameworks to advance our understanding of life and ecological systems. Manuscripts should include front matter, a literature review, and back matter. Authors may use the provided journal template for the front and back matter, but the structure of the main content is flexible.

For structured reviews and meta-analyses, please follow the same format as research articles and ensure compliance with PRISMA guidelines.

We look forward to your contributions and to continuing our collaboration on this exciting project.

Prof. Dr. José Arévalo Sierra
Guest Editor
