Peer Review and Publication Policy

The editorial board reserves the right to reject manuscripts if they do not meet scholarly originality, or conform to journal aims and scope or follow submission guidelines.

All submitted works undergo scholarly peer-review process. Articles are initially screened for relevance, originality and contribution by the editors. Only manuscripts of sufficient quality that meet the aims and scope of EAR will be sent out to at least two referees for double-blind reviewing. The editors may return manuscripts for revisions or to organize them in the house journal style. While the views of external reviewers are of primary influence on editorial decisions, the editorial board remains responsible for final decisions (not) to publish submitted manuscripts.

Publication Ethics and Conflicting Interests

Authors will be held responsible for academic integrity and publication ethics. We encourage authors to refer to EAR’s “ethical principles and publication policy” and to include a declaration of any conflicting interests in the cover letter.
