 Any manuscript to be considered by the Ohio Biological Survey must first and foremost be scientifically credible and accurate. The Survey is most interested in manuscripts which concentrate on Ohio's biota. A monograph outlining the status of a particular taxon within Ohio, an in-depth study of a particular Ohio natural area, or an amalgamation of information of use to Ohio's biologists are examples of areas of paramount interest to the Survey. Secondly, the Ohio Biological Survey will consider a manuscript dealing with a topic in which Ohio, or an Ohio natural area, or an Ohio native taxon is an integral part. Any study encompassing the Ohio River drainage basin, the Great Lakes region, or eastern North America, for example, would be given a reading by the Ohio Biological Survey. Finally, the Ohio Biological Survey will consider manuscripts by Ohio authors. It is preferable that these manuscripts meet either of the criteria above, and such manuscripts will be given priority. However, if an Ohio author creates a manuscript meeting the criteria for one of the Survey's publication categories, it will be read with an eye to publication. It should be remembered, however, that any manuscript, regardless of origin or topic, must be first approved by the Survey's Editorial Committee, and then pass peer-review by several experts in the field of study. top |
