Author Guidelines
1. SUBMISSION
Thank you for your interest in Ecological Management & Restoration. Note that submission implies that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium.
Once you have prepared your submission in accordance with the Guidelines, manuscripts should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/emrj
The submission system will prompt you to use an ORCiD (a unique author identifier) to help distinguish your work from that of other researchers. Click here to find out more.
Note, submissions of project summaries for inclusion on the EMR Project Summaries site should be emailed directly to the Editor.

Please direct all inquiries to: the Editor, Dr Tein McDonald, at teinm@ozemail.com.au
Checking your submissions
Before finalising your manuscript please make sure that all instructions have been clearly followed. To enable double-blind reviewing, please ensure that author names and Acknowledgements are only in the title page file and that any author information has been removed from the main paper (including the author name visible under the ‘Properties’ tab of the file).
Checklist
Before sending your manuscripts, via email, please check that:
1. The reference section is correctly formatted and that references cited in the text and tables are included in the references (and vice versa).
2. Pages are numbered and line numbers are used.
3. All contact details are provided.
4. Your submissions are fully anonymized.
Two Word-files need to be included upon submission: A title page file and a main text file that includes all parts of the text in the sequence indicated in the section 'Parts of the manuscript', including tables and figure legends but excluding figures which should be supplied separately.
The main text file should be prepared using Microsoft Word. Please use 1.5 line spacing. All pages should be numbered consecutively in the top right-hand corner, beginning with the first page of the main text file.
Each figure should be supplied as a separate file, with the figure number incorporated in the file name. For submission, low-resolution figures saved as .jpg or .bmp files should be uploaded, for ease of transmission during the review process. Upon acceptance of the article, high-resolution figures (at least 300 d.p.i.) saved as .eps or .tif files will be required.
2. AIMS AND SCOPE
Ecological Management & Restoration is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to promoting improved ecosystem management and restoration within the context of ecologically sustainable utilization. It seeks original-contributions from both scientists and practitioners, which focus on the management and restoration of plant and animal communities but will consider cross-disciplinary contributions where highly relevant to improved management of ecosystems. Articles that interpret already published research data are welcome, but articles that have been published or are under consideration for publication elsewhere will not be accepted. While the journal focuses on Australasia, contributions from elsewhere will be considered if distinctly relevant to Australasia.
3.MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND REQUIREMENTS
Contributions that fit any of the following formats will be accepted. Format types 4–8 are peer reviewed by researchers and practitioners familiar with the subject matter. Length is to be minimised. Please note that - in the word lengths below - all words in an article are counted except those in tables or supplementary online material. That is, the word length includes titles, authors, key words, summary, main text, references and captions. Submission that substantially exceed this may be returned for revision prior to review.

2. Guest editorials — 2 journal pages (c. 1600 words)
3. Comment pieces — 4 journal pages (c. 3500 words)
4. Short technical or research reports — 2 pages (c. 1700 words including <200 word summary, <10 references + 1 tab or fig)
5. Feature articles and interviews — 10 pages (c. 5000 words, incl. boxes)
6. Commissioned review articles — 8 pages (c. 5500 words)
Standard review articles — 8 pages (c. 5500 words)

11. Project Summaries (300+ words plus photos and maps - now online only via the EMR Project Summaries website)
Preference will be given to contributions that are the most relevant, reliable and readable and the Editor may suggest changes to manuscripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition and improve the communication between author and reader. Potential contributors should contact the Editor for more detailed information on preferred style and format to optimize the chance of meeting the journal’s selection criteria. Please contact the Editor if you would like to write a review article as these are normally invited contributions, subject to negotiation with the Commissioned Reviews Editor Nigel Tucker E: . We will not accept partisan promotions or contributions that fall outside the journal’s philosophy.
