Terms of Reference

Updated: June 1, 2006

In the context of the Society’s strategic plan 2005, the Committee will advise the Society on how best to develop and maintain a set of publications that allows the best science relevant in the conservation of biological diversity to be organized, reviewed, and disseminated to all interested and relevant bodies in research, management, and policy.

Specifically, the Publications Committee:

Reviews the quality, focus, and performance of the current publications with a view towards ensuring that the publications are, and continue to be, the leaders in their respective fields.

Undertakes forward looking strategic planning and oversight for the Society's publications: for example, evaluates new opportunities for journals, seeks strategic alliances for regional or thematic journals, and assesses new directions for both content and styles of publishing.

Works with the SCB Executive Office to establish realistic business plans for the journals, thus ensuring their financial security and providing opportunities for support to other Society activities.
