Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the Guest Editor, Dr. Richard Samuel Deese, we would like to
renew our invitation for you to contribute an outstanding long review or full
research paper for peer-review and possible publication in the following
Special Issue:

Special Issue: Tragedy or Transcendence: Reflections on 'The Tragedy of
the Commons'
Website: http://www.mdpi.com/si/sustainability/tragedy_transcendence/
Guest Editor: Dr. Richard Samuel Deese
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 15 June 2012

If you decide to contribute, please let us know, and send us your
manuscript now or up until the deadline. Submitted papers should not have
been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication
elsewhere. We also encourage authors to send us their tentative title and
short abstract by e-mail for approval to the Editorial Office at
sustainability@mdpi.com. In case you cannot meet the deadline, please feel
free to contact us.

This Special Issue will be fully open access. Open access (unlimited and
free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent
citations as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the
authors and their institutes. More information is available at
http://www.mdpi.com/about/openaccess/.

The Article Processing Charges (APC) are of 500 CHF for well prepared
manuscripts submitted before 1 July 2012. The APC for manuscripts
submitted from 1 July 2012 onwards are 800 CHF per accepted paper.
In addition, a fee of 250 CHF may apply if English editing or extensive
revisions must be undertaken by the Editorial Office. More information
can be found at http://www.mdpi.com/about/apc/.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors before submitting a manuscript:
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability/instructions/. Manuscripts
should be submitted through the online manuscript submission and editorial
system at http://www.mdpi.com/user/manuscripts/upload/.

Sustainability (ISSN 2071-1050) is an international, peer-reviewed open
access journal of environmental, cultural, economic and social sustainability.
It provides an advanced forum for studies related to sustainability and
sustainable development. Sustainability is published by MDPI online
monthly. The journal Sustainability is indexed and abstracted, among
others, by Chemical Abstracts, CAB Abstracts, RePEc (including
EconPapers and IDEAS) and Google Scholar.

MDPI publishes several peer-reviewed, open access journals listed at
http://www.mdpi.com/. The Editorial Board members, including several
Nobel Laureates (http://www.mdpi.com/about/nobelists/), are all leading
active scholars. All MDPI journals maintain rapid, yet rigorous, peer-
review, manuscript handling and editorial processes. MDPI journals have
increased their impact factors, see "2010 Newly Released Impact Factors",
