Since 1867, the Naturalist has been produced by actual human beings! While we take editorial standards and the high quality of the science we publish very seriously, we also aim to deliver a hands-on, friendly, supportive experience for both authors and reviewers. The result is what former Editor-in-Chief Dan Bolnick used to call “artisanal, small-batch publishing”. Meet the team!
