How to submit a paper?
For submission of your article for peer review most Elsevier journals now use the online Elsevier Editorial System (EES).
· Find the Submit an Article link on the journal’s homepage. This will take you to that journal's EES page.
· If you have never used EES before you need to register.
· Log in to EES to be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files
· EES automatically converts source files to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-review process.
· Upon submission you will receive an e-mail with a reference number that you can use to check the status of your paper in EES.
There are many benefits to registering with EES, including increased review and publication speed, article tracking and receiving e-mail alerts.
For journals not using the Elsevier Editorial System (EES)
For journals not yet using EES submission through e-mail or submission of a disk or printed copy will be accepted. Please see your journal's individual Guide for Authors on the journal homepage for further details.
After submitting a paper it will be peer-reviewed
Our primary research journals are peer-reviewed and independently edited by acknowledged experts in their fields. Reviewers are appointed by the journal editor.
Peer review has two key functions:
· To act as a filter and determine the validity, significance and originality of the work to ensure only good research is published.
· To improve the quality of research submitted for publication by giving reviewers the opportunity to suggest improvements.
Article Transfer Service
Several Elsevier journals operate a complimentary Article Transfer Service. The editor will offer this service to you if they feel your paper is of better fit in another Elsevier journal. Your submission will be transferred to another journal upon your approval. More on Article Transfer Service….
Researchers can choose to publish Open Access
· By submitting to one of our Open Access Journals.
· Or we have over 1500 established journals with Open Access options. During submission you then have a choice to either publish under the subscription model or Open Access.
Elsevier has established agreements with funding bodies. This ensures authors can comply with funding body Open Access requirements and may also be reimbursed for their publication fees. Elsevier has established agreements with funding bodies including the NIH, Wellcome Trust and UK Research Councils.
