How to submit
Submission to the EBHR must be original and previously unpublished manuscript that are not under consideration by another journal. Manuscripts should be written in English and should not exceed 10,000 words in length for research articles, including footnotes and references. Submissions are sent by email directly to the editors (editors [at] ebhr.eu).
For all contributions, when preparing your manuscript for submission to the EBHR, please observe the conventions detailed in the Style Guidelines available here and downloadable here. Before you submit your work, please ensure you have reviewed the submission checklist, available here.
Review process
Submissions are first checked by the journal editors for quality control, respect of academic standards and of the journal’s style guidelines, as well as to ensure they fall within the scope of the journal’s mission.
If the submission is deemed acceptable, the editors send invitations to appropriate reviewers both external to the journal and chosen among the editorial board. The peer-review process is double-blind.
Reviewers are expected to complete the evaluation of a manuscript within four weeks and complete a review form with a recommendation to reject it or accept it pending revision (major or minor) – or else with a request to revise and resubmit before it is reconsidered.
The editors consider all the received reviews before making an overall decision. If the reviews differ widely, the editors will consult members of the editorial board or may invite an additional reviewer so as to get an extra opinion before making a decision.
The editors send their decision to the author including the review forms completed by reviewers anonymously. If the article is accepted for publication, the editors will handle the revision process directly in close communication with the authors. If the recommendation is to revise and resubmit, another round of peer-review will be conducted (the reviewers should expect to receive the new version, unless they have opted out of further participation). The revision process should lead to a publishable manuscript.
Quality control process
This journal follows the guidance provided by COPE’s Core Practices. In accordance, we will check submissions for scientific integrity, originality and plagiarism. For more detail about the duties of authors, editors, and reviewers, please refer to the Publication ethics and malpractice statement.
