ESEP Editorial Staff
ESEP is operated by Editors, Review Editors (REs) and Anonymous Referees (ARs), all of high international reputation. Appointed by Inter-Research, Editors define and develop their respective fields of interest; have a submitted manuscript (ms) critically reviewed by at least three experts; decide on manuscript acceptance or rejection; correct and improve — where necessary — grammar, style and spelling of accepted mss; forward accepted mss to Inter-Research. Manuscripts accepted by an Editor are published as quickly as possible.
REs and ARs are the backbone of quality control. Nominated by Editors and appointed by IR, Review Editors promptly, critically and constructively evaluate the merits of manuscripts sent to them by Editors.
Inter-Research Internet pages are presently consulted more than 800,000 times per month by readers from over 160 countries. Authors can be sure, therefore, that their work will become known quickly and widely.
You are invited to submit mss to the Managing Editor listed below. Please consult GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS before preparing your ms.
