TO HUMAN
ECOLOGY'S READERS,
REVIEWERS, AND CONTRIBUTORS
The journal is now entering its 31st year of
uninterrupted
publication. Human Ecology is a peer reviewed journal of
approximately
810 pages per year. Each submission is read by three reviewers
using the
double blind system. Approx. 10% of all submissions are accepted
after
peer review with perhaps minor revisions and 90% are rejected on
first
submission or their authors are asked to re-submit, generally
going through
the review process once more. In the end approximately 30% or
fewer make
it into print. Last year we received approximately 65 completed
submissions
(e.g. in a format which made them eligible for consideration).
Most of
our contributors seem to agree that the stringent review process
and editorial
feedback helps in developing their arguments. Obviously we are
very much
dependent on highly qualified reviewers and constantly seek to
expand our
lists of those willing to assist in the review process. According
to the
Journal Citation Report, Social Science edition 2002, issued by
the Institute
for Scientific Information, Philadelphia, PA, Human Ecology ranks
16th
worldwide out of 53 journals in anthropology, among journals in
environmental
studies worldwide, Human Ecology ranks 16th out of 49 journals,
and also
23rd out of 93 sociology journals. I hope this is helpful.
Sincerely,
Daniel Bates

IMPORTANT
ANNOUNCEMENT
We are pleased to announce that as of Volume
32, No.1,
February 2004, Human Ecology moved to six issues a year to appear
in the
months of February, April, June, August, October, and
December.Our
page budget is correspondingly increased. Also as of February
2004, each
issue will have an image on its cover which will highlight one of
the articles
in that issue.Further, as of June 2004 we
started
using an electronic managerial system – Editorial
Manager – an online submission and review system,
which will,
we hope, contribute to faster turnarounds.

Submission is a representation that the manuscript has not been
published
previously and is not currently under consideration for
publication elsewhere.
A statement transferring copyright from the authors (or their
employers,
if they hold the copyright) to Plenum Publishing Corporation will
be required
before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. The editor
will
supply the necessary forms for this transfer. Such a written
transfer of
copyright, which previously was assumed to be implicit in the act
of submitting
a manuscript, is necessary under the U.S. Copyright Law in order
for the
publisher to carry through the dissemination of research results
and reviews
as widely and effectively as possible.
3.

references and footnotes; shorter manuscripts preferred. The
Editor will consider special cases on their merits.

In general, Human Ecology follows the recommendations of Style
Manual for
Biological Journals, published by the American Institute of
Biological
