History

The Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics was first published in 1970,[2] with Richard F. Johnston as its first editor.[3] In 1975 it began publishing biographies of notable ecologists in the prefatory chapter.[4] In 2003, its name was changed to its current form, the Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics.[5]

It defines its scope as covering significant developments in the field of ecology, evolution, and systematics of all life on earth. This includes reviews about molecular evolution, phylogeny, speciation, population dynamics, conservation biology, environmental resource management, and the study of invasive species.[6] As of 2019, Journal Citation Reports lists the journal's impact factor as 14.041, ranking it second out of 168 journals in the category "Ecology" and second of 50 titles in "Evolutionary Biology".[1] It is abstracted and indexed in Scopus, Science Citation Index Expanded, Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts, BIOSIS, and Academic Search, among others.[7]

Editorial processes

The Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics is helmed by the editor or the co-editors. The editor is assisted by the editorial committee, which includes associate editors, regular members, and occasionally guest editors. Guest members participate at the invitation of the editor, and serve terms of one year. All other members of the editorial committee are appointed by the Annual Reviews board of directors and serve five-year terms. The editorial committee determines which topics should be included in each volume and solicits reviews from qualified authors.[8] Unsolicited manuscripts are not accepted. Peer review of accepted manuscripts is undertaken by the editorial committee.[9]
