Journal of Ethnobiology (JoE) is a broad-scope journal publishing work from across research areas looking at human-nature inter-relations, in all their complexities and magnificence. We are committed to publish high-quality research that looks at our planet through an ethnobiological lens, bringing into focus the multi-dimensional relationships among humans and their biological worlds both in the present and in the past.

International in scope, the journal is committed to publish collections of papers on socially and ecologically relevant topics, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, food security, environmental history and resource management. Publishing special issues and special sections is rooted in the journal’s DNA, in order to chart and evaluate the research foci of a fast developing interdisciplinary field. These issues allow for and encourage the explicit integration of ideas and scholars from diverse ethnobiological communities.

JoE is fully committed to facilitate global conversations and further the international scope of our discipline by publishing papers by scholars from around the world. Journal of Ethnobiology aspires to represent the vast and growing number of ethnobiological research that is taking place internationally.

JoE’s publishing model is hybrid, offering several open access options for authors.
