Call for IEP Newsletter Articles - Deadline June 15, 2026
IEP is now accepting articles for the 2026 Volume 45, Issue 2 IEP Newsletter.
The submission deadline is June 15, 2026. Materials as well as questions should be sent to iep@wildlife.ca.gov.
What is the Newsletter
The IEP Newsletter is a triannual product of the Interagency Ecological Program that publishes perspectives on our Program and community. It is a forum for resource managers, scientists, and the public to learn about recent important programmatic and scientific topics from across the San Francisco Estuary. Articles are intended for rapid communication and are not peer reviewed. Thus, primary research results shared in the newsletter should be considered preliminary and interpreted with caution.
Article Types
There are five types of submissions acceptable for the newsletter:
- Opinion, Letter, or Essay
- Data Report
- Research Article
- Research Note
- Review Article
Did you notice something odd happening in the Delta when out surveying? Do you have an opinion on a management or research related topic or do you have a data publication that may be of use to others or be useful to meet reporting mandates? Please share it with the community.
Artwork
Do you like to take photos or draw? Do you or your children have artwork that you would like to share and display in the IEP Newsletter? If so, send an email to iep@wildlife.ca.gov and we can provide information on how to get your contribution included in the newsletter.
