FYI, and apologies for cross-postings
Rich The Social Science Working Group of the Society for Conservation Biology is seeking contributions to its new Working Paper Series. The goal of the Working Paper Series (WPS) is to provide a forum for conservation social science research, especially successful application of social science tools and approaches to conservation policy and practice. The WPS aims to promote current research in the final stages of completion. Through its simplified review process, the series offers rapid dissemination of critical conservation social science work to the conservation community, social science peers, students, and other professionals. This is an opportunity for authors to open their work for initial public viewing and commentary before moving on to relevant journal submission. The WPS hopes to become the place where conservation social scientists turn for the most current and critical insights into the field. The editors are particularly interested in papers examining the ways in which conservation social science answers the following questions in some manner: 1. Where should the conservation community focus its efforts? 2. How should the conservation community design and implement its conservation interventions? 3. What are the impacts of our conservation interventions? Submissions dealing with other aspects of conservation social science are also welcome. To contribute to the working paper series, please visit the Social Science Working Group WPS webpage (http://www.conbio.org/WorkingGroups/SSWG/ResPapers.cfm) and click on "submission procedures."
