The CSISS Missionrecognizes the growing significance of space, spatiality, location, and place in social science research. It seeks to develop unrestricted access to tools and perspectives that will advance the spatial analytic capabilities of researchers throughout the social sciences. CSISS was funded in 1999 with support from the National Science Foundation under its program to promote research infrastructure in the social and behavioral sciences.

Ecology and Society is an electronic, peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary journal devoted to the rapid dissemination of current research. Manuscript submission, peer review, and publication are all handled on the Internet. Software developed for the journal automates all clerical steps during peer review, facilitates a double-blind peer review process, and allows authors and editors to follow the progress of peer review on the Internet. As articles are accepted, they are published in an "Issue in Progress." At six month intervals the Issue-in-Progress is declared a New Issue, and subscribers receive the Table of Contents of the issue via email. Our turn-around time (submission to publication) averages around 250 days.

We encourage publication of special features. Special features are comprised of a set of manuscripts that address a single theme, and include an introductory and summary manuscript. The individual contributions are published in regular issues, and the special feature manuscripts are linked through a table of contents and announced on the journal's main page.

The journal seeks papers that are novel, integrative and written in a way that is accessible to a wide audience that includes an array of disciplines from the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities concerned with the relationship between society and the life-supporting ecosystems on which human wellbeing ultimately depends.

Content of the journal ranges from the applied to the theoretical. In general, papers should cover topics relating to the ecological, political, and social foundations for sustainable social-ecological systems. Specifically, the journal publishes articles that present research findings on the following issues: (a) the management, stewardship and sustainable use of ecological systems, resources and biological diversity at all levels, (b) the role natural systems play in social and political systems and conversely, the effect of social, economic and political institutions on ecological systems and services, and

Qu'est-ce qui préside à nos décisions ? Pour l'Américain Dan Ariely, chercheur en économie comportementale au MIT de Boston, l'irrationnel joue un grand rôle dans la raison des choix que nous faisons. Explications, alors que paraît son livre-clé, "C'est (vraiment ?) moi qui décide" (Flammarion).

Rencontrer Dan Ariely, c'est accepter d'être son cobaye. D'être analysé, scruté sous toutes les coutures. De veiller à la façon dont on s'assoit, aux vêtements que l'on porte. Lui, dans la posture de l'observateur, maintient en permanence le contact visuel et répond sereinement aux questions. Jambes croisées, chemise et veste noires, mais chaussures rouges et chaussettes à pois de couleur, il ne se prend pas au sérieux. Il aime jouer, avoir l'initiative et déstabiliser, toujours. Comme quand il vous demande, au beau milieu de l'entretien, de lever les yeux au ciel, affuble votre boutonnière d'une tige de métal et vous demande de la retirer. Vous voilà donc troublé, votre attention tiraillée entre le sujet de votre interview et ce bout de ferraille qui pendouille de votre veste. Dan Ariely, lui, vient subrepticement de prendre le dessus.

Nicolas Sarkozy a annoncé, samedi 10 mai, que "la traite des noirs, l'esclavage ainsi que leur abolition" seraient inscrits dans les nouveaux programmes de l'enseignement primaire dès la prochaine rentrée scolaire. "Cette histoire doit être inscrite dans les manuels scolaires afin que nos enfants puissent comprendre ce qu'a été l'esclavage, afin que nos enfants puissent mesurer les souffrances que l'esclavage a engendrées, les blessures qu'il a laissées dans l'âme de tous ceux que rien ne peut délier de ce passé tragique", a déclaré le président dans les jardins du Luxembourg, à l'occasion de la Journée nationale de commémoration consacrée à la mémoire de l'esclavage, de la traite négrière et des abolitions.

My immersive introduction to irrationality took place many years ago while I was overcoming injuries sustained in an explosion (here is a description of my experiences in the hospital). The range of treatments in the burn department, and particularly the daily “bath” made me face a variety of irrational behaviors that were immensely painful and persistent. Upon leaving the hospital, I wanted to understand how to better deliver painful and unavoidable treatments to patients so I began conducting research in this area (see picture below). After completing this initial research project, I became engrossed with the idea that we repeatedly and predictably make the wrong decisions in many aspects of our lives and that research could help change some of these patterns. A few years later, decision making and behavioral economics dramatically influenced my personal life when I found myself using all of the knowledge I’d accumulated in order to convince Sumi to marry me (a decision that was in my best interest but not necessarily in hers). After managing to convince her, I realized that if understanding decision-making could help me achieve this goal, it could help anyone in their daily life.
