Thank you for your interest in Biodiversity, Journal of Life on Earth. If possible, we encourage you to use a sample article as the basis for manuscript preparation. If you have question regarding these guidelines, please contact the Managing Editor  (see below).  Several sample articles are available at: www.tc-biodiversity.org/biosamples.htm                  

The journal’s main priority is to disseminate scientific knowledge about the biological diversity of the Earth.  It is written for both professionals and non-professionals to link the scientific community and the public and to widely advocate understanding and appreciation of all life forms and their roles in the life-supporting systems on Earth. The scientific, social and economic understanding of biological diversity is fundamental to its effective management, conservation, protection of species and habitats and to the comprehensive and sustainable use of species. Information published in Biodiversity will benefit a broad audience including scientists, students, educators, conservation workers, naturalists, nature lovers, and policy makers. Please visit: www.tc-biodiversity.org/biosamples.htm to learn more about the scope of Biodiversity.

SCIENTIFIC PAPERS
Papers need to be accurate, referenced, and written in a clear, understandable style. The range of topics include: biodiversity research, species discoveries and profiles, effects of climate change on biodiversity, endangered ecosystems and species etc.

Length: 2000 – 5000 words.  Under special circumstances such as a topic dealing with the diversity of a selected group of life forms we may consider publishing a longer paper, of up to 25-30 pages [e.g. Exploring the diversity of flies (Diptera)] published in Biodiversity 3(4) November 2002 has 25 pages].
