A new PeerJ editorial board - for "Ethnosciences"?
The newly-emergent PeerJ publishing platform is currently seeking qualified editors for editorial boards, in all possible subject areas.
Many subjects are already covered, but not those concerned with ethnobiology, ethnobotany and other ethnosciences.
See: https://peerj.com/academic-boards/subjects/
Today I offered to be a founding editor for an "Ethnosciences" editorial board.
Does anyone here think that it might be good to establish such a Board at PeerJ?
Here is the main text of the note I sent:
Dear Peerj,
Currently in the world there are a small number of journals that specialise in ethnobiology and ethnobotany, but few that deal with how humans interact with other aspects of the natural world.
It might be good, at this stage in PeerJ development, to build an editorial board for any contributions in the 'ethnosciences' (ethnozoology, ethnobotany, ethnomycology, ethnomedicine, ethnogeology, etc.). These are all areas that overlap.
[They] have in common a focus on people in particular places or cultures, and their interactions with the natural world.
