Submission and Publication Process
There are no fees for submitting a manuscript. If accepted, publication charges apply and are outlined in the journal’s open access policy. Authors may also choose an open access option under the Creative Commons license. Please consult the "Open Access Fees" section for full details.
All manuscripts must be submitted electronically through the secure ER SystemCentral. Hardcopy or email submissions are not accepted. A detailed submission checklist is available to guide authors through the process, and submissions can be paused and resumed as needed.
Manuscripts within the scope of the journal undergo peer review. Final decisions—acceptance, revision, or rejection—are made by the editorial board based on reviewers’ recommendations. Accepted manuscripts are professionally copyedited and formatted, then published online in both PDF and HTML formats.
Prior to submitting your manuscript through ER's SystemCentral, our online platform for manuscript submission and peer review, please ensure that all materials are prepared in full compliance with the Instructions for Authors.
Particular attention should be given to the preparation of figures, schemes, and other graphical elements, which must adhere strictly to the journal’s formatting and resolution guidelines.
