Ideas in Ecology and Evolution is a peer-reviewed, open-access, non-profit, electronic journal published at Queen's University.

IEE publishes forum-style articles that develop New ideas or that involve original Commentaries on any topics within the broad domains of fundamental or applied ecology or evolution. They may encompass any level of biological organization, and involve any taxa, including humans. Articles may concern focussed subject matter within a particular sub-discipline of ecology or evolution, or they may be broader in scope, including articles that aim to inform fields of study outside of biology. The Table of Contents for the current issue is populated in succession, with each article added as soon as it is accepted for publication.  

Creativity and controversy are the catalysts of scientific enquiry and discovery. The central mission of this journal is to provide a rapidly published repository for novel thinking and opinion-pieces — to serve effectively as a 'catalogue' for modellers and empiricists, as well as for educators and the media, from which they can 'shop' for original ideas and hypotheses that have been subjected to critical peer review (including with published commentary response from professional biologists), and that are available then to be explored, debated and tested by researchers.  As a reliable source of inspiration, Ideas in Ecology and Evolution aims to play an important role in guiding the direction and progress of both future research and public awareness in ecology and evolution. IEE is searchable using Web of Science (starting 2015) and Google Scholar, and by using any Open Archives Initiative (OAI) compliant metadata harvester.
