Dear Colleagues (please forward widely) I just wanted to share some info (3 points below) regarding Endangered Species Research (ESR)
1. Theme Sections: To help consolidate the position of the journal we are launching 4 Special Theme Section in the coming weeks with deadline for submission end 2018 and early 2019. These will all be fully peer reviewed but seek to gather cogent bodies of work around large and/or emerging areas of conservation research. All submissions are welcome. Please let me know the rough title of any paper you would like to submit and when it may be received. Please forward to your networks and share widely. 1. “Drones in Conservation Research” 2. “Marine Pollution and Endangered Species” 3. “Biologging for Conservation” 4. “Marine Vertebrate Bycatch: Problems and Solutions” Info on previous Special Theme Sections here: https://www.int-res.com/journals/esr/esr-specials/ 2. Impact Factor: ESR now has an ISI Impact Factor of 2.3. Modest, but rising from 1.8 last year and 1.4 the year before! I have inserted a table below contextualized where we have reached and where our trajectory might be. This is a result of great support from this community as authors, reviewers and editors. So thank you!

Reviews: For an open access journal of its standing, we still have fewer integrative reviews than we might. I am always open to suggestions.
