Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement
Editor
- The editor of Environment, Space, Place is responsible for identifying and contacting peer
reviewers, always keeping in mind potential conflicts of interest and making sure that
submissions are evaluated in terms of scholarly content and contribution without regard to the
identity and affiliation of the author. The editor ensures the confidentiality of authors and
reviewers. Based on the internal and external review process, the editor decides whether to
accept, reject, or encourage resubmission of the manuscript.
Authors
- Guidelines for authors appear on the Environment, Space, Place website and will be
sent on request. - Authors are requested to state whether the article has been submitted to or is under
review with another publication and whether the article has previously been published
in another language. - Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the
submission. Authors should ensure that all the listed authors have seen and agreed to
the submitted version of the manuscript and to the inclusion of their names as co-
authors. - Authors should fully cite the sources of information used in the research and
acknowledge relevant scholarly publications. - For all illustrations, authors should adhere to guidelines concerning Fair Use.
Questions regarding fair use can be sent to the editor or University of Minnesota Press. - Articles undergo an internal review by the editor and, when relevant,
members of the Editorial Board. If submissions are deemed appropriate for the journal,
they undergo double-blind peer review. Environment, Space, Place sends authors
reviewer comments and a decision about publication as expeditiously as possible. - The decision to accept or reject an article for publication in Environment, Space,
Place is based only on the submission’s relevance to the remit of the journal and the
significance of the submission as a work of original scholarship. For revised
resubmissions, authors should address all comments and suggestions by reviewers and
provide an account of the revisions undertaken. - Before a submission can be published, authors will be required to sign the University
of Minnesota Press Author Agreement and a Permissions Agreement
regarding Illustration and Artwork.
Reviewers
- Reviewers should have no potential conflict of interest.
- Potential reviewers are provided with the title and abstract of the submission, and if they agree
to serve as reviewers and have no conflict of interest, are sent our guidelines. - In our blind peer review process, the identities of the author and the reviewer are protected.
Reviewers are requested to keep confidential all information regarding submissions
to Environment, Space, Place.
Conflict of Interest Guidelines for Reviewers
The following situations are considered conflicts and should be avoided:
- Co-authoring publications with at least one of the authors in the past 3 years, not including edited collections
- Being colleagues within the same section / department or similar organizational unit in the past 3 years
- Supervising / having supervised the doctoral work of the author(s) or being supervised / having been supervised by the author(s)
- Having a personal relationship (e.g. family, close friend) with the author(s)
- Having a direct or indirect financial interest in the paper being reviewed
It is not considered a Conflict of Interest if the reviewers have worked together with the authors in a. collaborative project (e.g, EU or DARPA) or if they have co-organized an event (e.g. PC co-chairs)
Allegations of Misconduct
- When there is an allegation of academic misconduct, we solicit a response from those accused,
seek full documentation of the allegation, and take any appropriate steps through consultation
with the Editorial Board. If the allegation proves to be valid we will publish a correction as soon
as possible.
