As the editor of Herpetological Conservation and Biology I am pleased to announce that Issue 2 of the first volume has been released.  There is a paper on reproductive histology in cottonmouth for the histoherp folks!
 
You can now access the open-access journal online at  http://herpconbio.org.  The issue has nine research articles, an introductory piece and a complimentary of copy of Scott and Campbell 1982.  The next issue will be released in Early April.  
 
Articles can be downloaded for free from the journal website.  If you are interested in submitting an article to HCB, please download the instructions for authors from the journal website (or request them from me at malcolm.mccallum@herpconbio.org).  
 
HCB is a partnership between the World Congress of Herpetology and Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation.  We welcome submissions written in English from any country.  We are especially intersted in increasing the international involvement in the journal.  
 
HCB will not become eligible for inclusion in ISI Citation Reports until 2008, until then the journal staff will self-calculate its citation rating (a.k.a Journal Impact Factor).  At the current time, HCB's self-calculated citation rating (JIF) is at least 0.818.  
 
There are no page charges or other fees to authors who publish their work in Herpetological Conservation and Biology.
 
Have a nice day, and I hope you enjoy issue 2.
