All submission and questions concerning the publication of accepted papers should be addressed to TCS at the following addresses: <tropicalconservationscience No charges are applied for publication in Tropical Conservation Science. Types of papersTropical Conservation Science will publish three types of papers: Research Articles should be regular research papers and/or synopsis/reviews of particular topics. Conservation Letters should be non-traditional and have as a central theme something like "critical thinking," whether it is a taxonomic, conservation policy, ecological, physiological or historical article . Letters aim to be a bit edgy and promote thinking by moving into the next paradigm even when traditional journals refuse to move there. Such approach could promote discussions, disagreements and advances in thinking. Short communications may report results of brief studies and/or assessments related to conservation issues.
Languages TCS will consider Articles or Letters in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Chinese. Authors submitting a paper in a language other than English are required to deliver two versions of their paper: one in English and one in their native Language. If accepted, both versions will be published in TCS. Terms of SubmissionPapers must be submitted on the understanding that they have not been published elsewhere (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture, review, or thesis) and are not currently under consideration by another journal or any other publisher. The submitting author is responsible for ensuring that the article's publication has been approved by all the other coauthors. It is also the authors' responsibility to ensure that the articles emanating from a particular institution are submitted with the approval of the necessary institution. Only an acknowledgment from the editorial office officially establishes the date of receipt. Further correspondence and proofs will be sent to the author(s) before publication unless otherwise indicated. It is a condition of submission of a paper that the authors permit editing of the paper for readability. Peer ReviewAll manuscripts are subject to peer review and are expected to meet standards of academic excellence. Submissions will be considered by an associate editor and—if not rejected right away—by peer-reviewers. The submitting author will be asked during the submission process to provide the names of 3 proposed reviewers accompanied with their email addresses. These reviewers should not be affiliated to the same institution of the submitting author(s). In addition, these proposed reviewers should be acting within the research field of interest and should not have had any input into the manuscript submitted.
