This year, the open-access journal Ecosphere<\/em> became ESA\u2019s largest journal, publishing more than 400 articles in 2016. Our flagship journal Ecology, <\/em>founded in 1920, continued its solid publishing history with 375 articles. Ecological Applications<\/em> and Ecological Monographs<\/em> published 205 and 30 articles, respectively. The journal Ecosystem Health and Sustainability<\/em>, a newly launched open-access journal, published jointly with the Ecological Society of China, will publish 36 articles in 2016. Frontiers<\/em> debuted the popular Natural History Notes <\/em>series in 2015. <\/em>Each open-access article showcases the natural history of particular organisms \u2013 their\u00a0morphology or behavior, their habitats, or\u00a0their\u00a0roles in food webs and ecosystems.<\/p>\n In January 2016, ESA began publishing all its journals with its new publishing partner, John Wiley & Sons. This partnership expanded ESA\u2019s ability to publish more articles in a timely fashion and is allowing the Society to expand its reach \u2013 providing enhanced global distribution of all our journals.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=”section” transparent_background=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” padding_mobile=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” make_equal=”off” use_custom_gutter=”off” background_color=”#f1f1f1″][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” make_fullwidth=”on” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” padding_mobile=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=”Pubs Fan Image” src=”https:\/\/www.esa.org\/2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/New_Hero_Fan_ESA.jpg” alt=”A group of ESA publications in a fan displaying journal covers from 2016.” show_in_lightbox=”on” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Pubs-Caption” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”center” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=”Section” fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” transparent_background=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” padding_mobile=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” make_equal=”off” use_custom_gutter=”off”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” make_fullwidth=”on” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” padding_mobile=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Pubs Impact Factors” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n In 2016, the Impact Factors of all ESA journals saw increases, demonstrating the growing value of our publications to researchers, academics, and general scientific audiences worldwide.<\/p>\n 5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment (8.504) 3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment (8.504) [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=”ESA journals in the news” fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” transparent_background=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” padding_mobile=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” make_equal=”off” use_custom_gutter=”off” background_color=”#f1f1f1″][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” make_fullwidth=”on” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” padding_mobile=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” custom_padding=”||32px|”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”news title” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n Selected news stories featuring research published in ESA journals.
