  • Editor's Choice

    Editor’s Choice is a pro bono program sponsored by our publisher that aims to disseminate quality scholarship of ecopracticology among a broader community of international scholars and practitioners. Editor’s Choice articles are chosen to showcase one or any combination of the five virtues SEPR articles are expected to possess: attentiveness to the dual ambition of producing new knowledge and improving socio-ecological practice; interest in the usefulness—relevance, actionability, and efficacy—of knowledge; commitment to scholarly rigor while respecting the rigor of socio-ecological practice; writing with style, accuracy, brevity, and clarity; and the quality of international appeal. Articles of Editor’s Choice will be available for free download on the journal’s website for a definite period.
