Dear colleagues, We are pleased to inform you that the inaugural issue (http://www.pensoft.net/journals/neobiota/issue/9/) of NeoBiota (http://www.pensoft.net/journals/neobiota) was published few days ago. The associated press release: Open minded and open access: NeoBiota, a new publishing platform for invasion biologists (http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2011-08/pp-oma081511.php) was already picked up by hundreds of science journalists and media.
The vision of the Editorial Board on the priority issues and future development of invasion biology, as well as on the focus, scope and policies of the journal, is presented in an Editorial (http://www.pensoft.net/journals/neobiota/article/1835/open-minded-and-open-access-introducing-neobiota-a-new-peer-reviewed-journal-of-biological-invasions) co-authored by many leading specialists in biological invasions. NeoBiota will be presented at the 11th EMAPI Conference on the Ecology and Management of Alien Plant Invasions in Szombathely, Hungary (30 Aug - 3 Sep 2011) and at all forthcoming international conferences in invasion biology. Please do not hesitate to discuss your innovative publishing projects with us! Look around the inaugural issue, and particularly at the HTML versions of the papers, to see why NeoBiota is different. Please distribute this message through email lists of websites of fellow invasion biologists! Best regards and welcome to NeoBiota! Ingolf Kühn Editor-in-Chief
