Inter-Research (IR) is an international Science Center focusing on ecology. It is primarily a publishing organisation.
The organisation produces a number of ecologically focussed peer-reviewed journals that are available in full online if your institute has subscribed. These are:
- Marine Ecology Progress Series (MEPS)
- Aquatic Microbial Ecology (AME)
- Diseases of Aquatic Organisms (DAO)
- Climate Research (CR)
- Ethics in Science and Environmental Politics (ESEP)
IR sponsors the international Ecology Institute (ECI), a non-profit organization of research ecologists dedicated to fostering ecological awareness. The ECI in turn publishes the book series ‘Excellence in Ecology’ (EE). IR funds research and fellowships particularly in Eastern Europe.
