Rx Effects is the newsletter of the Fire Effects Monitoring Program in the National Park Service. It is an outlet for information on Fire Effects Monitoring, FFI, fire research and other types of wildland fire monitoring. The newsletter is produced annually for the National Park Service but we encourage anyone with an interest in fire ecology to submit information about their program or research. Examples of submissions include: contact information for your program, summaries of your program's goals, objectives and achievements, monitoring successes and failures, modifications to plot protocols that work for your park, hints for streamlining collection of data, data entry and analysis, event schedules and abstracts of papers or posters resulting from your program. Submissions will be accepted in any format (e.g., hard copy through the mail or electronic files through e-mail). Please see our website for author instructions. The goal of the newsletter is to let the Fire Effects Monitoring community know about you and your program.
Rx Effects is issued each year in the summer. The deadline for submissions is the last Friday in July. If you would like a subscription or more information please see our website www.nps.gov/fire/fire/fir_eco_rxeffects.cfm or contact:

Submission Guidelines
- Rx Effects Newsletter -- Instructions for Authors
The deadline for submissions is the last Friday in April. The newsletter is issued in early June. Submissions will be accepted at any time in any format (e.g., hard copy through the mail or files attached to email). Remember that Rx Effects is a newsletter, not a peer-reviewed journal. The intent is light, informative reading. Articles should be short and cover the highlights of your topic. Please provide your contact information so that if a reader is interested in more details he or she can reach you. We suggest articles be written in a newspaper format with the important points at the top and the supporting details at the bottom. Articles should target no more than 500-1000 words or 1-2 type-written pages. Metric system units are preferred. In all cases the Editor will attempt to preserve the intent of your submitted article but also reserves the right to edit or shorten it.
Examples of submissions include:
- Contact information for your program
- Summaries of your program's goals, objectives and achievements
- Monitoring successes and failures
- Modifications to plot protocols that work for your park
- Hints for streamlining data collection, entry and analysis
- Event schedules
- Abstracts of papers or posters resulting from your work.
