conbio-review-process

separate

Use to understand how Conservation Biology evaluates a manuscript — double-blind peer review (adopted 2014), editorial screening for scope/novelty/conservation relevance, the editorial-board structure, decision categories, and the Registered Reports route. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

When to use

• Stress-test against desk-rejection grounds
• Deciding whether to use the Registered Reports route
• Interpreting a decision letter
• Understanding what reviewers are instructed to weigh
• Shape the paper to pass review
• Desk-rejection triage
• Review-risk pass for Conservation Biology

When not to use

• Contacting editors
