Publishing Policies

Editorial Policy

Originality


Only papers that report novel and significant scientific and technical findings in the multidisciplinary field of ecology and infrastructure engineering will be considered and accepted for publication in the Ecology and Resilient Infrastructure. Thus, any manuscript submitted to the Ecology and Resilient Infrastructure must report original research. The Ecology and Resilient Infrastructure accepts a submitted manuscript on the condition that the presented work has not been published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Authorship


All authors must agree to be so listed and must have seen and approved the manuscript, its content, and its submission to the Ecology and Resilient Infrastructure. All authors of a manuscript are responsible for the entire paper and must have agreed that the corresponding author has the authority to act on their behalf in all matters pertaining to publication of the manuscript. To avoid any possible dispute during the processing, changes to authorship during revision must be agreed upon by all of the authors and brought to the editor's attention in the cover letter submitted with the revised version.

Editorial Process

Review


When a manuscript is submitted to the Ecology and Resilient Infrastructure, the Editorial Office checks if the manuscript was prepared according to the guidelines, gives it a manuscript number (e.g., ERI15-01) and assigns it to one of the members of the editorial board for review. The manuscript number should be referred to in any subsequent communications between the corresponding author and the Editor or the Editorial Office. All manuscripts are reviewed confidentially by members of the editorial board or qualified reviewers. The reviewers operate under the Guidelines for Reviewers and are expected to complete their reviews as soon as possible.

Decision


The corresponding author is generally notified of the Editor's decision to accept, reject, or require modification or revision by the Editor or the Editorial Office within 2 weeks of submission. Manuscripts that have been rejected may be resubmitted once the major criticisms have been properly addressed. When a manuscript is returned to the corresponding author for modification or revision, it should be returned to the editor within 3months, or it may be considered withdrawn. The authors should supply the Response to the reviewers along with the modified or revised manuscript. When an editor has decided that a manuscript is acceptable for publication, the corresponding author and the Editorial Office will be notified. If necessary, the corresponding author will be asked to re-edit the manuscript to improve the English.

Appeals of decisions


Authors who wish to appeal a decision should contact the Editor-in-Chief, explaining in detail their reasons for the appeal. All appeals will be discussed with at least one other editor. If those editors do not agree, the appeal will be discussed at a full editorial meeting.

Proofs


The Editorial Office will deliver electronic page proofs and a page charge form to the corresponding author. Page proofs should be corrected, signed by the corresponding author and sent back to the Editorial Office by e-mail within 3 days of receipt of the proofs. With the exception of typographical errors, incorrect data or updated information regarding references, no extensive changes will be made in the manuscript at the proof stage. Page proofs are considered to be the final version of the manuscript.
