Some Essentials
Academicians are interested in sending empirical research papers to ECOBISMA, must write their manuscripts at least 4800 words, excluding pictures, tables, and references. The submitted manuscript must be written in English. Authors should declare that the accepted manuscript is truly belongs to them and is not sent elsewhere for publication. The same author can only send a new manuscript back to ECOBISMA if it has passed five editions from the date of publication of the last manuscript.
A double-blind review process is applied for all submitted papers. Each submitted manuscript should be without information about the author (s) and their affiliation to facilitate the double-blind peer-review process.
We will run similarity test for the submitted articles using Turnitin. The tolerance level of similarity is about 20%.
Conference papers can be considered for publication in ECOBISMA if those papers are fully re-written and are also obtained necessary written permission from the copyright owner (if those papers have been published and the publisher holds the right).
If authors want to cancel their manuscript, please field and send this form to our email: jecobisma@gmail.com
