Journal of Ecological Anthropology

Research Articles
Full length articles can be either reports of original research or presentations of theoretical perspectives not exceeding 7,500 words. Creative format is encouraged, including tables, figures, models and pictures.

Crib Notes
We are happy to publish brief articles up to 3,000 words that are intended to stimulate ideas or discussion, especially if they relate to theoretical perspectives not traditionally represented in the ecological or anthropological literature. In general, these are intended to make available a novel concept or framework or a novel take on an existing concept to a broad audience. Citations need only to credit those responsible for the antecedent ideas relied upon, and any data used should serve as an example of the application of the concept rather than as a case study or a research report.

Data Notes
This feature provides an opportunity for authors to explore the implications of ethnographic data regarding human-environment relations through analyses that are provocative or preliminary in nature. Data notes need not address theoretical questions, but should present novel data in a brief communication of up to 3000 words including references.

Field Notes
In this feature researchers are encouraged to share their experiences in the field or otherwise applying ecological anthropology in 3,000 words or less. Subjects include critiques of qualitative and quantitative field techniques, dealing with logistics and bureaucracies, ethical dilemnas, managing relationships with ethnographic informants, travel tips, or any topic that may be helpful to the field work of others.

Book Reviews
We encourage readers to submit reviews of approximately 1,500 words in length of current publications.

The Last Bite
One page of humor (approximately 500 words), including political cartoons, spoof advertisements, poetry - we're open to ideas! The humor can be sarcastic and/or self reflexive, but must be kept within the bounds of good taste. We will not publish any humor that is at the expense of an individual or particular field of inquiry, as this would undermine the interdisciplinary nature of our journal.
