Oikos
is a journal issued by the Nordic Ecological
Society and is one of the leading peer-reviewed
journals in ecology.
Oikos publishes original and innovative research on all aspects of ecology, defined as organism-environment interactions. Emphasis is on theoretical and empirical work aimed at generalization and synthesis across taxa, systems and ecological disciplines. Papers can contribute to new developments in ecology by reporting novel theory or critical empirical results, and "synthesis" can include developing new theory, tests of general hypotheses, or bringing together established or emerging areas of ecology. Confirming or extending the established literature, by for example showing results that are novel for a new taxon, is given low priority. We publish standard papers and short papers in the Forum section that aim to stimulate discussion by promoting ideas and synthesis of high novelty. Forum papers should strive for novelty, conceptual unification and serve as a point of departure for future work rather than retrospective summaries of established fields or topics.
Papers in the Forum section is given priority in the publication process.
Oikos
is available as fulltext for subscribers
on-line at www.ingenta.com and
at Wiley Online Library. Back issues of Oikos are available at JSTOR, www.jstor.org.
Oikos sections:
Research papers - Research papers report original research in all fields of ecology and should aim at a readership from a wide range of ecological disciplines. Research papers' manuscripts should have a maximum of 50 references.
Forum -
Forum is the section in Oikos where syntheses and reviews are published. The format can be short notes or more substantial reviews aimed at bringing fields together, to transgress existing boundaries and to synthesize larger fields or seemingly disparate areas, and to offer new ways of interpreting existing data. Forum articles should strive for conceptual unification and being a point of departure for future work rather than just summarizing existing bodies of theory and data. It is an arena for challenging current thinking on ecological issues by revising established concepts and received knowledge through critical experiments or new theory so that new ground can be broken.
Oikos
does not publish book reviews.
Oikos
is published in cooperation with the journals
Ecography, Lindbergia, Hereditas, Journal of Avian Biology, Nordic Journal of Botany and the monograph series Ecological
Bulletins.
