Volume 3 (2010) of Ideas in Ecology and Evolution is now complete (http://library.queensu.ca/ojs/index.php/IEE), including a year-end editorial announcing a new peer-review model that will be explored for 2011.

In the Author-Directed Peer-Review (ADPR) model, authors make their own arrangements for peer-review of manuscripts, with follow-up revision as necessary - prior to submission - thus providing several advantages over the conventional peer-review system - including faster publication time and reduced author fees (see the editorial for further details). IEE, however, will continue to seek referees and arrange peer-review for submitted manuscripts in the traditional manner, if authors wish.

Ideas in Ecology and Evolution publishes short forum-style articles that develop new ideas or that involve original commentaries on any topics within the broad domains of fundamental or applied ecology or evolution. They may encompass any level of biological organization, and involve any taxa, including humans. Articles may concern subject matter within any recognized sub-discipline of ecology or evolution, or they may be broader in scope, including articles that aim to inform fields of study outside of biology. All articles are joined by a conceptual foundation in the core principles of ecology and evolution studied by biologists.
