Fungal Ecology
As well as original research papers, Fungal Ecology publishes Mini Reviews (about 3500 words) and Commentaries, Short Communications (less than 1500 words) - not interim reports nor reports of new species or species lists, and Methodological Advances that describe the development of tools for studying fungal ecology. Such tools include microscopy, molecular, genetic and computational/modelling methods. All articles are peer reviewed.
The first issue of the journal appeared in spring 2008. It achieved its first Impact Factor (IF) after two years, which was particularly rapid as most journals do not receive an IF for at least three years. It now has an IF of 4.2.
The journal has an international editorial board with a wide breadth of interests.
