Ongoing Special Features

EDGG is regularly publishing Special Features in international journals on topics related to ecology, biodiversity, classification, conservation, and management of Palaearctic grasslands. Publishing in EDGG Special Features typically comes with significant visibility and therefore our Special Feature articles on average receive more citations than “normal” articles in the respective journal. Within the EDGG Executive Committee, Jürgen Dengler (dr.juergen.dengler@gmail.com) and Péter Török (molinia@gmail.com) are responsible for the coordination of these activities. If you have questions or want to propose a new Special Issue, please get into contact with them.

Currently, three such Special Issues are active, meaning that articles can be proposed for them by sending an abstract to the respective contact person. Then, after a positive evaluation of the abstract, a manuscript can be submitted until a specified deadline.
