Florida Scientist

The Florida Scientist is published quarterly by the Florida Academy of Sciences, Inc., a non-profit scientific and educational association.

Original articles containing new knowledge, or new interpretations of knowledge, are welcomed in any field of science as represented by the sections of the Academy. Also, contributions will be considered which present new applications of scientific knowledge to practical problems within fields of interest to the Academy.

Articles must not duplicate in any substantial way material that is published elsewhere.

Contributions are reviewed only from members of the Academy and so papers submitted by non-members will be reviewed only after the authors join the Academy.

Preview the Instructions for Authors  and contact our Journal staff for all Journal questions and subscription information.
