From the indexing lists used on ScholarsColab, updated 1 March 2026. Indexing can change: confirm on the Web of Science Master Journal List or the Scopus source list before submitting. Official Journal Impact Factors and JCR quartiles are published by Clarivate; the impact factor and quartile on this page are calculated from OpenAlex open data (see how the impact factor works).

04How to submit

How to submit to Frontiers in Conservation Science

1. Read the guide for authors. It sets the article types, word limit, reference style and file format that Frontiers in Conservation Science accepts. Open the official guide for authors and submit from the same page.
2. Use the journal's template. Frontiers Media SA offers Word and LaTeX templates for many of its journals. If your manuscript is in Word and the journal wants LaTeX, our LaTeX Template Conversion moves it into the template.
3. Check the fit. Compare your title and abstract with the papers it has published; papers outside the scope are the most common reason for a desk rejection. The Journal Finder shows journals that published the closest work.
4. Plan the fee. Frontiers in Conservation Science is fully open access, with an article fee of about US$2,353 after acceptance. See whether your author team qualifies for a waiver with the free APC waiver checker.
5. Check your manuscript before you submit. The free Submission Readiness Check asks the seven questions our reviewers ask in every audit and takes about 2 minutes.
