A new journal focused on the natural history of Caribbean fauna and flora has just been announced. As the sample cover to the left illustrates, it might be a great place to publish observations on our favorite critters. The journal has a distinguished board of editors and the webpage states:

The Caribbean Naturalist is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes original articles focused on field research of all aspects of the biology and ecology of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and the environments of the Caribbean region. The journal offers:

• over 15 years experience of consistently providing timely publication of high-quality peer-reviewed research

• article-by-article online publication for prompt distribution to a global audience

• an efficient and responsive review process

• the expertise to bring to rapid fruition proposals for Special Issues based on a series of invitational articles or conference proceedings

• the capability to accommodate publication of a wide range of supplemental files in association with journal articles

As is the case with Eagle Hill’s other natural history journals, the Caribbean Naturalist is expected to be fully indexed in Elsevier, Thomson Reuters, Proquest, EBSCO, Google Scholar, and other databases.
