The Evidence Champions: Journals

Introduction

Forty conservation-focused journals are requesting that authors outline how they have placed the literature in context (e.g. by searching Conservation Evidence) by incorporating this in the submission process or in instructions to authors. Asking authors who have tested interventions to explain how they have placed their paper in context will help ensure conservation science reduces the perils of cherry picking scientific evidence and will improve the design of future work. It will not provide a complete remedy to bias in conservation articles. Ideally, the impact of this measure will grow as the evidence base grows, so that we can have the extended vision that comes from standing on the shoulders of giants rather than the limited vision from standing on their toes.
