Chelonian Research Foundation (CRF), And Turtle Conservancy announce that they will co-publish the journal Chelonian Conservation and Biology (CCB) as well as the Chelonian Research Monographs (CRM) series with its Conservation Biology of Freshwater Turtles and Tortoises (CBFTT) project being carried out under the auspices of the IUCN SSC Tortoise and Freshwater Turtle Specialist Group.

As part of the CBFTT series, it will also cover the forthcoming offering by the Turtle Taxonomy Working Group [A. Rhodin, J. Iverson, R. Bour, U. Fritz, A. Georges, H.B. Shaffer, and P.P. van Dijk] --Turtles of the World: Annotated Checklist and Atlas of Taxonomy, Synonymy, Distribution, and Conservation Status (8th Ed.). This offering is a expanded edition of the previous 7th Ed. published in 2014, with vastly improved detailed distribution maps, photos of most species, and addition of type locality data for all taxa, and will be issued as a stand-alone book in the CRM series.

Through this new partnership, they are pleased to announce that CCB will no longer require page charges for contributing authors. Of course, they encourage and expect those authors with institutional support that can afford to pay for page charges to continue to do so (which helps support continued high-quality publications), but by eliminating mandatory page charges in CCB, they hope that publishing in CCB will be easier than ever for interested authors, especially those from developing nations or those who lack institutional support.

Also, together with their CCB printer, Allen Press, CCB will now offer preprints of articles that are In Press, but not yet printed in a CCB Issue. This is our way to get your published research into the literature as soon as possible.
