Conditions of participation
All submissions to CLIMATE 2010 / KLIMA 2010 will be subject to a strict vetting procedure to ensure their thematic relevance, scope and degree of replication elsewhere. A special emphasis will be given to research which has led to tangible results, as opposed to merely theoretical analyses and appraisals of aspects of climate change problems. Although the Coordinator and Editor-in-Chief will be advised by an international editorial board, his decision is final so as to ensure the editorial coherence of the publication.
Submissions to CLIMATE 2010 / KLIMA 2010 will be commissioned by the Coordinator and Editor-in-Chief and, when accepted, will be subjected to peer-review by an international editorial board, which will process the scientific papers further.
The preparation of CLIMATE 2010 / KLIMA 2010 has been made possible by a research grant and sponsorships. Participation is therefore free of charge. Authors are solely required to cover the costs related to the preparation of their submissions. Authors making submissions to CLIMATE 2010 / KLIMA 2010 will do so in the understanding that they fully agree with these conditions.
