The latest volume of the international, peer-reviewed Journal of Pollination Ecology, of which I’m an editor, has just been published. All papers are free to download – here’s a link.
Unlike most open access journals there are no page charges for authors, so if you are a researcher involved in pollination ecology, please consider submitting a manuscript.
Dear Jeff,
Did you get my email?
Best,
cd
Yes, I was out of the office all yesterday, just catching up with things now.
Your link doesn’t seem to work – it reads http://new%20volume%20of%20journhttp//www.pollinationecology.org/index.php?journal=jpe
Possibly it should be,
http://www.pollinationecology.org/index.php?journal=jpe
Thanks, fixed it now.
Wow, I’ve never heard of a journal with no page charges! How does it work?
You mean “open access with no page charges”? There’s lots of journals that don’t charge but that are not open access.
The model for JPE is that all of the editorial and publishing work is done by volunteers, coordinated by the founder and Editor-in-Chief, Carolin Mayer. Carolin also managed to raise some small grants to cover the initial costs of web hosting, etc. In the longer term we’ll have to see how sustainable that is.
That’s awesome!
