Policy - Ursus includes a variety of articles on all aspects of bear management and research worldwide.
Original manuscripts are welcome.
In addition to manuscripts reporting original research, submissions may be based on thoughtful review and synthesis of previously-reported information, innovative philosophies and opinions, and public policy or legal aspects of wildlife conservation as well as traditional research and management topics. Ursus is based on papers presented at periodic conferences of the association as well as papers submitted independently. Invited manuscripts will be clearly identified, but will still be subject to peer review. All manuscripts must be in English. Two referees, an Associate Editor, and the Editor judge each submitted manuscript on data originality, ideas, interpretations, accuracy, conciseness, clarity, appropriate subject matter, and contribution to existing literature.
