ResumoBetween 2004 and 2005, the Impact Factor of the Journal of Ecology increased from 3.397 to 4.277, an increase of 26%. This is the third consecutive year in which an increase in Impact Factor has been registered by the Journal, retaining our ranking of eleventh out of 112 ecology journals listed by ISI. In the same period, the Immediacy Index increased from 0.624 to 0.786, reflecting the fact that our published output is being cited more rapidly as well as more often. The half-life of citations of papers published in the Journal of Ecology is still greater than 10 years, confirming that the research reported in the Journal has lasting value in the field of ecology. All of these metrics of quality confirm the progress we have made in recent years in establishing the Journal of Ecology at the forefront of our subject; it is a place for the most innovative ecologists to publish their work, and essential reading for those engaged in researching and teaching ecology. Once again we draw readers’ attention to the fact that all articles published in the Journal of Ecology, back to the first issue (1913), are available electronically via Blackwell Synergy (from 1997) or JSTOR (1913–2004). Members of the British Ecological Society can subscribe, at nominal cost, to the ‘e-journals’ collection, which offers instant electronic access to the entire back catalogue of all four of the Society's journals, together with search facilities (see http://www.britishecologicalsociety.org/articles/publications/journals/electronic). Printed copies of the Journal of Ecology are scheduled for dispatch in order to arrive in your letterbox at the beginning of the month of publication (issues are published in January, March, May, July, September and November). If you sign up for Blackwell Publishing's e-mail alert service (http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/ealerts/) you will automatically receive the electronic table of contents (an ‘e-toc’) as soon as a new issue becomes available. Articles in press can be accessed even earlier in the ‘Online Early’ section of Blackwell Synergy at http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/loi/jec. These Online Early articles are the final version of the published paper. Although they lack final page numbers and volume/issue details, they are considered fully published, and are therefore available to be downloaded and cited, using their doi code, from the date that they first appear online. Summaries of papers can be viewed free of charge as soon as they are available and can be accessed directly via links in the e-toc. We continue to arrange published output in each issue of the Journal in broad subject groupings. These groupings depend solely on the content of material that has been accepted for publication; we do not delay publication of articles until large enough groups of papers have been accumulated. Feedback from readers indicates that the broad headings are useful in drawing their attention to a variety of papers that they might otherwise miss. Headings of groups of papers have ranged from the structure and functioning of, and impact of human activities on, ecosystems, to the physiology of shade tolerance, and the genetic diversity of populations. There have been several groupings on interactions between plants and other biotic agents, including herbivores and pathogens, and a large group of papers has examined the importance of biotic and abiotic interactions between plants and soils. The high rate of submission to the Journal of Ecology inevitably means that we can only select the best of the material sent to us for publication. We are confident of the high quality of the research we publish. In 2006, there have been a large number of notable papers that we predict will become heavily cited. Amongst these were two papers that were highlighted in Nature (Moore 2006a,b): Terborgh et al. (2006) tested the green world hypothesis of Hairston et al. (1960) in predator-free islands created by a hydroelectric impoundment constructed in Venezuela, and Bennie et al. (2006) analysed vegetation changes over the last 50 years in species-rich chalk grassland vegetation. Particular mention should also be made of the Essay Review by Silvertown et al. (2006), which distilled the main contributions to ecological knowledge that have been achieved by the famous, long-term Park Grass Experiment. The paper was widely covered in the popular media, including BBC Radio 4 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/thematerialworld_20060511.shtml). The experiment was started in 1856, and is still yielding valuable data and providing important new ecological insights 150 years later; we believe that this review should be compulsory reading for plant ecologists. Essay Reviews continued to be an important component of our output. These are authoritative and forward-looking summaries of fields in which new syntheses of knowledge are achieved. Essay Reviews are well-received and widely used. Amongst those published during 2006 were an examination of why there are so many small plant species (Aarssen et al. 2006), the consequences of changes in litter decomposition rates caused by global warming for plant species coexistence in cold climates (Aerts 2006), an extensive review of current knowledge about root competition (Schenk 2006), an analysis of the relationships between plant population size, fitness and genetic variation (Leimu et al. 2006), the relationship between the evolutionary concept of phenotypic plasticity and its use in ecology (Valladares et al. 2006), the responses of forest herb layers to nitrogen deposition (Gilliam 2006), and an analysis of the conservation genetics paradigm as it relates to plants (Ouborg et al. 2006). Finally, Peter Vitousek's Tansley Lecture, delivered at the BES Annual Meeting in September 2005, was published in May 2006 (Vitousek 2006). It surveys an astonishingly wide-range of approaches to analysis of the interactions between the human population and the environments of the Hawaiian islands. Another important component of our published output is the series of autecological accounts of plant species – the Biological Flora of the British Isles (BFBI). Although the series is focused on British species, most of the species for which accounts have been published have a much wider distribution and interest. The latest account is perhaps the most comprehensive published to date, dealing with one of the most important species globe-wide, namely Pteridium aquilinum (Marrs & Watt 2006). (The late A. S. Watt was a former Editor of the Journal of Ecology, President of the British Ecological Society and author of several of the most durably influential publications in plant ecology, including many on bracken.) The BFBI series, which began in 1940, now runs to 245 articles and covers a substantially larger number of species, with many more accounts in preparation. We are always pleased to receive new offers to write accounts of species. Between c. 1989 and 2004, the BFBI accounts were edited by Arthur Willis, a former Editor of the Journal of Ecology. Most authors of BFBI papers will attest to the huge and selfless improvements made to their efforts by Arthur before their papers were accepted for publication. He was the principal Editor of 27% of the accounts published to date. Sadly, Arthur passed away last year. An appreciation of him and his work, written by Tony Davy, who succeeded Arthur as Editor of the BFBI accounts, was published in the Journal in last year's November issue (Davy 2006). We intend to launch a new type of paper in the near future under the heading Future Directions. The aim of these papers is to provide an opportunity to outline a provocative new direction for a discipline within plant ecology, perhaps centred on a conceptual diagram or figure. These papers will not review the field, as the opportunity to do this currently exists within our Essay Review series. The Forum section in the Journal will also remain separate and distinct from Future Directions to provide a sounding board for different viewpoints and an opportunity to comment on recently published papers. Future Directions papers will be no longer than two to four printed pages, and will present the opportunity for an author to say: ‘This is where I think the field is going or needs to go’. We envisage that these papers will establish the direction of the field for the future. Of course, such a view may eventually turn out to be controversial or incorrect, but these papers will be designed to make readers think, and to challenge their understanding of the topic. They will be published quickly, and will be prominently positioned within the Journal to attract a high level of attention. If you are interested in writing such a paper, please do get in touch with the Editorial team to discuss your idea. Future Directions papers will be subject to the same peer-review process as all other papers we publish. Therefore, an invitation to submit is no guarantee of eventual publication. As in all cases, the final decision to publish in the Journal of Ecology resides with the Executive Editor. Since last year's Journal of Ecology News, our longstanding Managing Editor, Lindsay Haddon, moved onwards and upwards, and was replaced by Meran Owen, with whom many of you will already have corresponded. Lindsay has gained a well-deserved promotion to become Publications Manager for all four of the British Ecological Society journals. This means that we will not lose touch with her, and that she will still have a significant input to the development of Journal strategy and policy. Lindsay made an immense contribution to Journal of Ecology over 14 years, and we speak for a succession of Editors, and undoubtedly for a huge community of authors, in thanking her for bringing her unique style of friendliness, courtesy, professionalism and respect for authors to the interface between the Journal and its contributors. During 2006, Malcolm Press retired as Editor of the Journal of Ecology to become President-elect of the British Ecological Society. We are very grateful to Malcolm for his contributions to the Journal in the two-and-a-half years that he served as Editor, and especially for his strategic insight. Richard Bardgett has now joined the team of Editors. Richard has an international reputation for work on soil-based processes, including aboveground–belowground relationships, and controls on nutrient cycling in natural and managed ecosystems, including the effects of herbivory. His appointment signals our commitment to publishing research in all of these areas. Spencer Barrett, Jake Weiner and Colin Osborne retired as Associate Editors during the year. We are grateful to all of them for their hard work over the years, especially Spencer and Jake, who were both Associate Editors for very lengthy periods. We welcome John Pannell (evolutionary ecology, plant sexual systems and plant population genetics), Bryan Foster (community ecology and ecology of grasslands) and Fernando Maestre (plant responses to heterogeneity, competition and facilitation, and the use of meta-analyses) as new appointments to the Board during 2006. The 2006 John L. Harper Young Investigator's Prize for a paper published in the Journal of Ecology by an author at the start of his or her research career is awarded to Jian-Ming Deng for ‘Plant mass-density relationship along a moisture gradient in north-west China’ (Deng et al. 2006). In this paper, the authors examine the relationship between plant mass and plant population density in arid and semiarid regions along a natural precipitation gradient in Gansu province, China. The slope of the relationship between log above-ground biomass and log density decreased with both mean annual precipitation and mean vegetation cover, whereas neither total biomass nor below-ground biomass showed such changes in gradient, indicating a higher root: shoot ratio in drier conditions. The results suggest that metabolic scaling theory fails for above-ground biomass under drought stress, whereas it is still applicable for below-ground parts. This leads to the prediction that the rate of supply of the most limiting resource per unit area determines which parts of plants conform with theoretical expectations. The papers of two other authors were selected for special mention. First, Robert Holdaway (Holdaway & Sparrow 2006) examined sites in New Zealand undergoing primary succession in a braided river bed and on adjacent alluvial terraces. They found evidence in support of a specific theoretical model of community assembly rules that were dependent on successional stage and on the presence or absence of an exotic invader species. Second, Benjamin Wolfe (Wolfe et al. 2006) carried out an experiment to examine the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and water table on the composition of artificial wetland plant communities. Conventional wisdom has been that AM fungi are relatively unimportant in wetland communities because the dominant species in such communities are often non-mycorrhizal. The results of this experiment suggest that a revision of this expectation is overdue. We hope that Jian-Ming Deng will be able to take up the British Ecological Society's invitation to attend its Annual Meeting in September 2007 to give a presentation of his work and to receive his prize. We were pleased to welcome last year's prizewinner, Michael Stastny, to the 2006 Annual Meeting, at which he spoke about his recent work (Stastny et al. 2005). The Journal is always pleased to be able to publish work from young authors with important new results to report. The Journal of Ecology invites authors to submit their best research at our web site http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jecol-besjournals. A new version of the electronic manuscript handling system, which is even simpler and more intuitive for all users, was introduced last autumn. We aim to treat all authors with courtesy and respect, and to handle manuscripts as efficiently as possible. Annual submissions increased from 2004 to 2005 by approximately 11%, and we are predicting a further rise in 2006. Despite this, our average time from initial receipt of manuscripts to first decision has been 44 days in the last 12 months. The number of very high quality papers submitted means that we must continue to accept only the best work, and this invariably means that we are seeking to publish papers describing novel ecological research with generic, rather than specific, emergent messages. Studies should address novel questions, and important and topical hypotheses. As we reported last year, each submission is assessed individually by one or more of the Editors to determine whether it falls into the broad remit of the Journal, whether it addresses a broad, rather than narrow ecological subject area, has the potential to make a substantial contribution to ecological understanding, and whether it covers a subject area that is topical, and therefore potentially of interest, to a wide readership. Papers that do not meet these criteria may be rejected without being sent out for review. This reduces the burden on both the refereeing community and the editorial system, and enables authors of papers that are rejected at this stage to submit their work, without delay, to a more appropriate journal. We have now introduced a facility for authors to explain, at submission, in no more than 50 words, the significance of their paper, and why they think it is appropriate for the Journal of Ecology to publish it. We also ask reviewers to describe the important contributions of papers that they recommend for publication. Authors are advised to ensure that the title of their paper is accurate and likely to draw a wide audience to read it (titles holding the promise of generic rather than specific insights are recommended). Similarly, we urge authors to take special care to engage readers with the Summary, and to ensure that key-words are selected to raise the likelihood of their paper being identified by search engines. After initial screening, all types of papers are subject to peer review. We aim to provide an explanation if a decision has not been reached within 10 weeks of submission. For papers published in 2006, the average time from submission to acceptance was 137 days and the average time from acceptance to online publication was 75 days. The Journal of Ecology is included in ‘Online Open’, a trial pay-to-publish service from Blackwell Publishing that gives authors the option of paying a one-off fee of £1250 (equivalent to $2500) to allow all readers immediate and free online access to the paper. Importantly, no author is prevented from publishing in the Journal of Ecology by the existence of this option to elect to pay for publication; all accepted papers continue to be available online to subscribers. Authors who wish their paper to be Online Open should indicate this only after their paper is accepted. When published, the online version of articles paid for through the Online Open option on the Blackwell Synergy service (both full-text and pdf versions) will be available to all for viewing and downloading free of charge. The print version of the article will also be branded as Online Open to draw attention to the fact that the paper can be downloaded without charge. Authors are asked to carefully follow the latest Instructions for Authors (please note that these are regularly updated – see Author Guidelines at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/jec). Failure to follow instructions may cause delays in processing manuscripts and may result in rejection without review. The Editors of the Journal of Ecology encourage authors to make data underlying published articles available on request. As data registries and archives become more readily available we hope that authors will register data and deposit metadata connecting published papers to the archived data underlying the results. Our thanks go to all those colleagues who readily agree to referee papers for the Journal of Ecology, often despite many other pressing commitments. The increasing number of submissions we receive means that we have to ask people more often, although we do try to spread requests to review papers as much as we can. We expect that authors submitting papers will help to maintain the standards of the Journal by agreeing, when asked, to referee papers within their field of expertise. The Editors of the Journal of Ecology would like to thank all those listed at the end of this article for their assistance in evaluating manuscripts between November 2005 and October 2006. Their opinions have been greatly valued, as has their willingness to work within our electronic system for submission and review. We really do appreciate their efforts. L. W. Aarssen D. D. Ackerly J.
