Peer-Reviewing Process

 The process of reviewing is considered critical to establishing a reliable body of research and knowledge. The review process aims to make authors meet the standards of their discipline, and of science in general.

We use a double-blind system for peer-reviewing; both reviewers and authors’ identities remain anonymous to each other. The paper will be peer-reviewed by two or three experts; one is an editorial staff and the other two are external reviewers. 

The editor will pass the manuscripts that are accepted for publication to a publisher who will be responsible for organizing the editorial services and online printing of the publication.

 

Paid Review Model

To facilitate a speedy turn-around when a rapid decision is required, EJ-GEO offers a review model in which selected peer reviewers are paid to deliver high-quality and timely peer-review reports. 

Reviews are paid for each review that is delivered:

  • - High quality: The quality of the review must be approved by the editors. 
  • - Timely: The review must be delivered to the editor within its due.

Reviewers are paid 7 EUR for each approved review. After a minimum of 3 approved reviews, reviewers can withdraw the amount they acquired via PAYPAL. 

In the case that reviewers decide to publish with EJGEO, each approved review is considered as 12 EUR.

Open Access Policy

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available after publication on the EJGEO website to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

 

Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement

The publication of an article in the peer-reviewed European Journal of Environment and Earth Sciences (EJ-GEO) is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the authors, the journal editors, the peer reviewers, the publisher, and the society.
 
The ethics statements for our journal are based on the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.
 

Manuscript Withdrawal and Refund Policies

Authors can withdraw their manuscripts at any stage of submission, peer-reviewing, and copyediting procedures. However, withdrawals once the copyediting process starts are not subject to a refund of the Article Processing Fee.
