Aims & Scope

Objective
Sustainability and Biodiversity Conservation (SBC) is an international, interdisciplinary, biannual journal that covers a broad spectrum of topics related to sustainable development, wildlife conservation, and ecosystem resilience. Founded in 2022 by the Biodiversity Conservation Society, SBC encourages submissions of reviews, editorials, original research papers, and short notes on sustainability and biodiversity from across the globe. While contributions from all geographic regions are welcome, the journal particularly invites research focusing on the Palearctic and Oriental biogeographic zones.

SBC is dedicated to publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed papers on the conservation, systematics, and ecology of both marine and terrestrial biodiversity. Quantitative analyses and models of animal populations and habitats are especially encouraged and given priority. The journal also accepts book reviews related to wildlife research, biology, and conservation in a limited scope.

Manuscripts undergo initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief or the Editorial Team. If deemed suitable, they proceed to a rigorous, double-blind peer review by at least two anonymous referees with expertise in the relevant field, as well as a Subject Editor selected by the Editor-in-Chief. Manuscripts can be submitted via SBC’s online submission system or directly through email at "mnaderi@ku.edu.tr." Accepted papers will include the dates of receipt and final acceptance, along with the name of the Subject Editor.

Topics covered by SBC include:

• Ecosystems and biodiversity change
• Biodiversity monitoring
• Nature conservation
• Biological and ecological interactions
• Ecosystem and community analyses
• Conservation biology
• Morphology and taxonomy
• Evolutionary biology, wildlife genetics, and genomics
• Biogeography
