Ecology and Society is an electronic| peer-reviewed| multi-disciplinary journal devoted to the rapid dissemination of current research. Manuscript submission| peer review| and publication are all handled on the Internet. Software developed for the journal automates all clerical steps during peer review| facilitates a double-blind peer review process| and allows authors and editors to follow the progress of peer review on the Internet. As articles are accepted| they are published in an "Issue in Progress." At four month intervals the Issue-in-Progress is declared a New Issue| and subscribers receive the Table of Contents of the issue via email. Our turn-around time (submission to publication) averages around 350 days. We encourage publication of special features. Special features are comprised of a set of manuscripts that address a single theme| and include an introductory and summary manuscript. The individual contributions are published in regular issues| and the special feature manuscripts are linked through a table of contents and announced on the journal's main page. The journal seeks papers that are novel| integrative and written in a way that is accessible to a wide audience that includes an array of disciplines from the natural sciences| social sciences| and the humanities concerned with the relationship between society and the life-supporting ecosystems on which human wellbeing ultimately depends.
