We are supporting Publication Partners
Journal of Insect Conservation is proud to support a new initiative called Publication Partners, which was launched earlier this year as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and the knock-on effect on individuals struggling to continue with their research. Publication Partners enables authors who are struggling to find the time for their manuscript due to the pandemic, to ‘buddy’ with a ‘partner’ who can help get the manuscript into a publishable form. Find out more here.
