open access: yesReview of Policy Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Many policy issues, such as nuclear waste management, are complex and require expertise to address.

Abstract Academic review, promotion, and tenure processes place a premium on frequent publication in high‐impact factor (IF) journals. However, conservation often relies on species‐specific information that is unlikely to have the broad appeal needed for high‐IF journals.
