conbio-review-process
Use to understand how Conservation Biology evaluates a manuscript — double-blind peer review (adopted 2014), editorial screening for scope/novelty/conservation relevance, the editorial-board structure, decision categories, and the Registered Reports route. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (conbio-review-process)
Knowing how *Conservation Biology* screens and decides lets you pre-empt the failure modes before
submitting. The journal is **double-blind** (adopted October 2014) and screens at the desk for scope,
novelty, and conservation relevance before external review.
## When to trigger
- Before submitting, to stress-test against desk-rejection grounds
- Deciding whether to use the **Registered Reports** route (where offered)
- Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations
- Understanding what reviewers are instructed to weigh
## How review works
