Introduction We are pleased to announce a new initiative for JHB that encourages the submission of articles that specifically address certain “themes.” In the hope of stimulating new global scholarship in interdisciplinary areas we believe deserve greater attention, we have established a series of “Topical Collections” to which we actively encourage submissions. These Topical Collections, overseen by editors who are specialists in the fields, include: • • • • • • • • •
Biology and Technology Reframed: Amy Slaton and Tiago Saraiva. Environment & the Life Sciences: Jacob Hamblin. Genomics and Post-Genomic Biology: Nathan Crowe. Human-Animal Boundaries: Biological and Social Connections: Shira Shmuely and Robert Kirk. Regional Biologies: The Life Sciences in Africa: Georgina Montgomery and Julia Cummiskey. Regional Biologies: The Life Sciences in Asia: Christine Luk. Regional Biologies: The Life Sciences in South America: Ana Barahona Echeverria. Social History of Laboratories and Field Practices: Megan Raby. Women, Gender, and Sexuality in Biology: Don Opitz.
More information on these Topical Collections can be found on the JHB website under the “Instructions for Authors” and “Journal Updates”: https://www.springer. com/journal/10739/submission-guidelines#Instructions%20for%20Authors_Topic al%20Collections https://www.springer.com/journal/10739/updates/18095662. The Collection Editors have developed individual Calls for Papers that lay out the intellectual terrain they envision for their collection. The Topical Collections are now ready to welcome submissions. * Marsha Richmond 1

In terms of publication, each of the articles tagged for appearance in a particular Topical Collection will be grouped with others that share similar thematic content. This feature is shared with Special Issues, but articles within a Topical Collection are not intended to be published together in a single print issue. Rather, they will be identified collectively on the JHB website through an electronic tag associated with a particular Topical Collection. Individual articles will appear in regular print issues of JHB, but they will be identified on the title page as being associated with a Topical Collection. The introduction of “theme-tags” will eventually take advantage of the Continuous Article Publication (CAP) feature of Springer journals. Thus, the publication of Topical Collection articles will afford authors additional attention and, moreover, will enable articles to avoid some of the timing delays associated with Special Issues, whose appearance is tied to the timing required for each article to move independently through the review process. Articles published in a Topical Collection can appear in print and be available to interested scholars more q
