Editorial Structure
Pacific Conservation Biology is guided by an Editorial Board which comprises an Editor-in-Chief and a team of Associate Editors.
The Editor-in-Chief is appointed by the Publisher following approval by the Board of Standards established between CSIRO and the Australian Academy of Science. An overview of this partnership can be found on the CSIRO Publishing website. The Editor-in-Chief is appointed to lead and manage the Editorial Board, advocate for the journal to the research community, attract and select high-quality content for the journal and ensure high standards of publication ethics are maintained.
Associate Editors are selected by the Editor-in-Chief. Selection of Associate Editors is based on expertise in key areas of the journal’s scope and active participation internationally in their area of expertise. The Editor-in-Chief works with the Publisher towards securing a diverse Editorial Board through actively seeking editors from a range of backgrounds and cultures, paying close attention to gender, ethnicity, career stage and geographical diversity.
Associate Editors are appointed for a set term which may be renewed upon agreement by the Associate Editor, Editor-in-Chief and the Publisher.
Associate Editors make recommendations about publication of articles in the journal but the final decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief. The journal’s policies on peer review can be found on the journal website.
Our journal editors are expected to work within the framework of the Core Practices, and according to the CSIRO Publishing Editorial Board Conduct Policy.
