conbio-conservation-relevance-and-implicationsUse when sharpening the conservation significance and actionable implications of a Conservation Biology manuscript. The journal requires results to have direct, transferable implications for conserving biological diversity and to bridge science and practice. Frames the so-what and the recommendation
conbio-data-analysisUse when executing and reporting the analysis for a Conservation Biology manuscript so it survives expert, double-blind review — appropriate ecological/statistical models, honest uncertainty, robustness, and reproducibility. Covers detection, hierarchical models, spatial structure, and effect sizes
conbio-figures-and-tablesUse when building tables, figures, and maps for a Conservation Biology manuscript so exhibits are self-contained, accessible, and respect the journal's exhibit budget (about one table or figure per four pages of text). Covers maps, effect plots, and masking sensitive species locations. Designs exhib
conbio-literature-positioningUse when positioning a Conservation Biology manuscript against the literature so it reads as a novel, transferable contribution to conservation science. Conservation Biology readers span ecology, social science, and practice, so the paper must engage the relevant conservation literatures and state t
conbio-reporting-and-data-policyUse when preparing the data-availability statement and the data/code archive for a Conservation Biology manuscript. The journal (Wiley/SCB) requires a data-availability statement for research/synthesis articles, encourages data sharing, and requires sensitive species data to be protected. Prepares t
conbio-review-processUse to understand how Conservation Biology evaluates a manuscript — double-blind peer review (adopted 2014), editorial screening for scope/novelty/conservation relevance, the editorial-board structure, decision categories, and the Registered Reports route. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to s
conbio-revision-and-rebuttalUse when writing the response to a Conservation Biology revise-and-resubmit. Decisions weigh novelty, transferability, methodological soundness, and direct conservation relevance, so the response must convert each reviewer while keeping the handling editor confident. Structures the response letter;
conbio-study-designUse when defending the study design of a Conservation Biology manuscript — ecological sampling and inference (detection, spatial structure, pseudoreplication), comparative/observational and quasi-experimental designs (BACI), modeling and synthesis design, and human-dimensions methods. The journal ju
conbio-submissionUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for Conservation Biology via Wiley's ScholarOne Manuscript Central — article-type selection, double-blind preparation, word/abstract caps, Style Guide formatting, data-availability statement, and declarations. Final checks; it does not draft conten
conbio-topic-selectionUse when deciding whether a project fits Conservation Biology and which article type to target. Conservation Biology is the Society for Conservation Biology's flagship journal, so the test is novelty plus transferable, direct relevance to conserving biological diversity, not local description alone.
conbio-workflowUse as the entry point for any Conservation Biology manuscript. Routes to the right conbio sub-skill based on where you are in the science lifecycle and which article type (Contributed Paper, Research Note, Review, Essay, Conservation Practice and Policy, Comment) fits. It dispatches; it does not dr
conbio-writing-styleUse when drafting or polishing a Conservation Biology manuscript so it reads accessibly for a broad conservation audience, follows the journal Style Guide, and fits the per-type word caps (e.g., Contributed Papers ~6,000–7,000; abstract <= 300 words). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent co
