Global Ecology and Biogeography
Author Guidelines
1. SUBMISSION
Authors should kindly note that submission implies that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium. All submissions must be concisely and clearly written in grammatically correct English.
Free format submission
Global Ecology and Biogeography now offers Free Format submission for a simplified and streamlined submission process.
Before you submit, you will need:
Your manuscript: this should be an editable file including text, figures, and tables, or separate files—whichever you prefer. Whilst we are supportive of free formatting, we require that abstracts be structured as per the descriptions in the ‘Manuscript Categories and Requirements’ section. All required sections should be contained in your manuscript, including abstract, introduction, methods, results, and conclusions. Figures and tables should have legends. Figures should be uploaded in the highest resolution possible. References may be submitted in any style or format, as long as it is consistent throughout the manuscript. Supporting information should be submitted in separate files. If the manuscript, figures or tables are difficult for you to read, they will also be difficult for the editors and reviewers, and the editorial office will send it back to you for revision. Your manuscript may also be sent back to you for revision if the quality of English language is poor.
An ORCID ID, freely available at https://orcid.org. (Why is this important? Your article, if accepted and published, will be attached to your ORCID profile. Institutions and funders are increasingly requiring authors to have ORCID IDs.)
The title page of the manuscript, including:
Your co-author details, including affiliation and email address. (Why is this important? We need to keep all co-authors informed of the outcome of the peer review process.)
Statements relating to our ethics and integrity policies, which may include any of the following (Why are these important? We need to uphold rigorous ethical standards for the research we consider for publication):
data availability statement
funding statement
conflict of interest disclosure
ethics approval statement
patient consent statement
permission to reproduce material from other sources
clinical trial registration
Important: the journal operates a double-blind peer review policy. Please anonymize your manuscript and supply a separate title page file.

For help with submissions, please contact the Editorial Office at geboffice@wiley.com. As of January 2018, Global Ecology and Biogeography has instituted double-blind manuscript reviewing. Please take two title pages - one with identifying this into account when preparing a manuscript for submission by creating infromation, and one without identifying information.
2. AIMS AND SCOPE
Global Ecology and Biogeography (GEB) welcomes papers that investigate broad-scale (in space, time and/or taxonomy), general patterns in the organization of ecological systems and assemblages, and the processes that underlie them. In particular, GEB welcomes studies that use Method, comparative analyses, meta-analyses, reviews, spatial analyses and modelling to arrive at general, conceptual conclusions. Studies in GEB need not be global in spatial extent, but the conclusions and implications of the study must be relevant to ecologists and biogeographers globally, rather than being limited to local areas, or specific taxa. Similarly, GEB is not limited to spatial studies; we are equally interested in the general patterns of nature through time, among taxa (e.g., body sizes, dispersal abilities), through the course of evolution, etc. Further, GEB welcomes papers that investigate general impacts of human activities on ecological systems in accordance with the above criteria.
Global Ecology and Biogeography generally does not publish studies that focus on unique events or places, or on specific taxa in local areas. The journal is also not interested in studies that lack ecological and/or biogeographical focus.
Getting published in GEB (also see January 2016 editorial)
A substantial proportion of manuscripts submitted to GEB are declined without review. The decision is based on:
whether the paper fits the scope described above;
whether the Abstract and the display pieces present conceptual advances that will be relevant to the work of ecologists and biogeographers globally.
It is very important that papers submitted to GEB are presented in a way that emphasizes their generality. It is critical that the most citable points of the study be clearly presented in the Abstract and display pieces. Use the cover letter to highlight these points to the editors.
