Aims & Scope

BioInvasions Records is an Open Access, peer-reviewed international journal focusing on field research of biological invasions in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems from around the world.

It was established in November 2011 as a continuation of the former Aquatic Invasions Records, an electronic supplement of the international journal Aquatic Invasions, with start-up funding from the European Commission Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development Collaborative Project enviroGRIDS.

BioInvasions Records provides authors with their rights protection concerning primary geo-referenced records, biological monitoring and surveys as well as timely publication of reports concerning first alien species records.

This contributes to rapid information dissemination, risk assessment procedures and early warning systems on invasive alien species (IAS).

BioInvasions Records may also contribute to timely and coordinated eradication efforts of newly-found IAS.

The fast and comprehensive peer review process of manuscripts serves as an effective quality control mechanism.

The journal provides a forum for professionals involved in research and management of invasive alien species, with focus on new records of non-native species.

BioInvasions Records is an official journal of International Association for Open Knowledge on Invasive Alien Species (INVASIVESNET).
