PEER-REVIEW PROCESS IN SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS: HOW TO GET ACCEPTED FOR PUBLICATION

摘要

In recent years a continuous increase has been observed in the number of submissions to Waste Management, reaching almost 1000 per year. However, for numerous organisational and economic reasons, this increase can only be partially accommodated in the printed journal version. Accordingly, to ensure high-quality publications complying with the yearly page allotment established, the use of strict, objective, and fair criteria for acceptance, and limits on the number of journal pages per article, are fundamentally important. Indeed, the high number of submissions allows a selection of the most original and interesting contributions to be made. Submissions are managed by Waste Management as illustrated in the paper.
