The Editorial Board
<http://www.rhodora.org/rhodora/editorialboard.html> of
/*Rhodora*/ is pleased to announce a new section of the journal,
entitled /*"Featured Review"*/, which will focus on topics relating
to the systematics, floristics, ecology, paleobotany,
phytogeography, conservation biology, or restoration ecology of the
flora of northeastern North America or floristically related areas.
There are *no page charges*and the reviews will be *open access*.
The aim of the /*Featured Review*/ section is to provide a venue to
synthesize current topics of broad botanical interest, particularly
in areas that have had a significant body of research conducted in
recent decades. The reviews must synthesize key literature and
highlight significant insights that can lead to better understanding
of the topic and should recommend areas for future research that
would lead to advances in the field. The reviews should not exceed
15,000 words, including references. All reviews will be
peer-reviewed by two external reviewers and the Editor-in-Chief, Dr.
Nishanta Rajakaruna. Authors interested in preparing a review may
submit a one-page proposal to the Editor-in-Chief via email at
nrajakar...@gmail.com <mailto:nrajakar...@gmail.com>. Members of the
New England Botanical Club and readers of /*Rhodora*/ are also
welcome to suggest topics for review and/or authors to be invited to
write a review for this exciting new feature of */Rhodora/*.
