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 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.

 

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.

 

Plagiarism Statement

EJMED has a policy of Zero Tolerance for Plagiarism. We check the plagiarism issue through two methods: reviewer check and plagiarism prevention tool (iThenticate.com).

All submissions will be checked by plagiarism prevention software before being sent to reviewers.

 

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 may withdraw their manuscripts at any stage of the submission, peer review, or copyediting process. However, please note that manuscripts withdrawn after the copyediting process has begun will not be eligible for a refund of the Article Processing Fee (APF). This policy reflects the fact that once the copyediting process has commenced, significant resources and editorial work have already been invested in preparing the manuscript for publication.

To clarify:

  • Before Copyediting: Authors who choose to withdraw their manuscript before the copyediting phase begins will be eligible for a full refund of the Article Processing Fee, provided that no copyediting or proofreading has been conducted yet.
  • After Copyediting Begins: Once the copyediting process has begun, the Article Processing Fee is non-refundable.
