Special Publications of NEBS
The New England Botanical Society periodically issues Special Publications, which are manuscripts about the New England flora that are too lengthy for a single issue of Rhodora, or which have utility as stand-alone volumes. The Special Publications Committee reviews submitted manuscripts, and usually seeks additional peer reviews. If a manuscript is accepted, the Society typically funds printing of a limited number of copies and distributes a portion of these to libraries or botanical institutions. Authors are encouraged to make arrangements to fund printing of additional copies from outside sources. Authors are encouraged to contact the Chair of the committee before submitting a manuscript to evaluate its suitability as a Special Publication.
