WILDLIFE BIOLOGY

ABOUT THE JOURNAL

We publish research on wildlife and human-wildlife relationships.

Wildlife Biology welcomes theoretical, empirical, and practical articles from all areas of wildlife science. Our broad concept of wildlife management includes all policies and actions with the purpose of conservation, sustainable use, or control of wildlife and its habitats.

Editorial Policies

Wildlife Biology is a full Open Access journal published by the Nordic Society Oikos in cooperation with Wiley. Please read the NSO Publishing Policies for detailed information regarding conflict of interest, authorship, roles of editors, copyright and licensing, Open Access conditions, and more. The article publication charges associated with Open Access articles are the only fees for publishing in NSO journals. Papers submitted to NSO journals are evaluated using double-anonymized peer review, with implications for manuscript formatting specified in our Author Guidelines. NSO believes that accessible and transparent data and code are essential for scientific progress. To make science more just, we ask our authors to declare whether the conduct of their study considers equity, diversity and inclusion when they submit their papers.

Manuscript Referrals

Editors of the NSO sister journals Oikos and Ecography and Journal of Avian Biology have the option to suggest that the authors transfer to Wildlife Biology. If a transfer is recommended, authors can opt for automatic referral. The manuscript, along with any related reviews, will then be transferred for consideration by the editorial team. Editors of Wildlife Biology may similarly refer manuscripts to Wiley’s Transfer Desk Assistant which identifies appropriate Wiley journals. Authors can then opt to transfer their manuscript to one of the suggested journals. Transfers are offered to facilitate rapid publication of good quality research that is unable to be accepted by the original journal, and to reduce overall editor burden and reviewer fatigue.
