By: Fazey, I.
Contributor(s): Fischer, J | Lindenmayer, D B.
Subject(s): Biodiversity | Conservation | Accessibility of Research | Conservation Biology | Developing Countries | Publications in Conservation | Scientific Investment | Research-Conservation Biology In: Biodiversity and Conservation 14(4)Summary: Much of the world's biodiversity is located within countries with developing economies. We therefore examine how well developing nations and their scientists are represented in three international conservation biology journals. We found 1) that 28% of studies were from lower income countries and only 15% of all papers had primary authors from these nations. Of papers from lower income countries, although 80% had at least one local author, only 47% had primary authors from the country where the study was conducted. 2) lower income countries had more research with a strong applied focus compared to research from high-income countries. 3) in lower income countries research was often funded by international sources, but the primary authors of these studies were from affluent nations. 4) the three journals differed in how well they represented lower income nations and their scientists, reflecting their editorial policies for including research from lower income nations.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
