Allen Press Collaborates with Ecological Society to Develop Online Publication Workflow

Manuscripts for consideration for Ecosphere are submitted to ESA Publications via EcoTrack, a derivative of the Allen Press–supported peer review system AllenTrack (powered by eJournal Press), where they undergo rigorous peer review. Decisions are made within 4–6 weeks. Since the journal will have no subscriptions, authors pay a one-time fee in lieu of traditional page charges. Enhancements to EcoTrack allowed ESA to offer discounts to members (and encourage membership) as well as collect fees directly in the peer review system prior to publication.
