THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY IS IRELAND'S LEADING BODY OF EXPERTS IN THE SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES

The Royal Irish Academy/Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann champions research. We identify and recognise Ireland’s world class researchers. We support scholarship and promote awareness of how science and the humanities enrich our lives and benefit society. We believe that good research needs to be promoted, sustained and communicated. The Academy is run by a Council of its members. Membership is by election and considered the highest academic honour in Ireland.

Biology and Environment

Biology and Environment: Proceedings of The Royal Irish Academy is a broad spectrum, peer-reviewed journal publishing biological and environmental research on topics relevant to the island of Ireland and internationally.

The journal should be essential reading for researchers interested in the relationships between organisms and the environment from both practical (applied) and fundamental perspectives. There is considerable flexibility in the types of articles that we publish, which include original experimental work, reviews, data papers, opinion pieces and commentaries (either as full papers or short communications) as well as book reviews and meeting reports. We particularly encourage submissions from early-stage researchers and practitioners that may be publishing a scientific paper for the first time.

Biology and Environment (B&E) is owned, managed and published by the Royal Irish Academy (RIA). By publishing in B&E, authors indirectly support membership and networking activities of the RIA. In doing so, they provide two types of benefits to the scientific community: first, by advancing knowledge through the publication of new research, and second, by supporting numerous activities run by the RIA that strengthen the scientific community in Ireland.
