As authors, reviewers and editors, we can actively shape the publishing ecosystem. Different journals entail different choices. Ethical publishing—despite occasional compromises—should be the primary driver of our decisions. Check: peeer.net/2026/02/20/dif… #BetterPublishing

Scientific societies should rethink allowing for‑profit publishers at meetings. They may support the meeting in part, but these same publishers charge unsustainable fees year‑round and undercut academic independence. The trade‑off? Researchers lose. 🔗 peeer.net/2025/08/04/two…

Do we outsource research conferences at our peril? For‑profit event firms reduce our effort, but fees are high and returns to academia low. Would not-for-profit society-organized meetings held at universities benefit the academic community more? 🔗 peeer.net/2025/08/04/two…

An ambitious project to DNA Barcode all intertidal organisms in California may cut due to declining state revenues. We need 200-300 signatures of California #biodiversity scientists (graduates, postdocs, faculty, NGOs, etc) to try to save the project. For info and to sign, see

A society journal @ESAMonographs moreover offers a long-form (40+ page) format which is particularly suited to forward-thinking, comprehensive, treatments of key biogeographical topics
Biogeography.News@JBiogeography

Update: Put Ecological Monographs @ESAMonographs on your list of society-owned biogeography journals: strong editorial board with disciplinary expertise (e.g. Barreto, Belmaker, Borregaard, Carmona, Hof, Leclerc, Lessard, ...) #BetterPublishing journalofbiogeographynews.org/2024/01/09/soc…
