[Malcolm McCallum]

(Sorry about the double post.  I left off the subject on the first email!)

The editorial staff of Herpetological Conservation and Biology announces the release of the inaugural issue on September 27, 2006. The first issue is 70 pages long and contains 12 articles. We proudly invite everyone to peruse the articles posted on the journal website (http://www.herpconbio.org) and welcome feedback that might help improve the journal.  Herpetological Conservation and Biology is an international open-use electronic journal published in partnership with PARC and the World Congress of Herpetology.  All material except Editorials and Announcements receive anonymous peer review.  The current acceptance rate for submitted articles is ca. 50%. There are no page charges or download fees for HCB users.   Print versions of HCB are planned for release at the end of each year.  The journal is indexed by BioAbstracts and Zoological Record.   The current editorial staff is around 60 members and there are plans to expand the International presence this fall.  If you have any questions or comments regarding the journal or its operations please contact any member of the editorial staff.
