For reviewers
The editorial board of the journal “Die Bodenkultur: Journal for Land Management, Food and Environment” is grateful to all reviewers who are contributing their time, knowledge and efforts for evaluation manuscripts.
All submissions to the journal are reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers. The review process will be guided by an associate editor. The journal uses a double-blind reviewing process, thus authors remain anonymous to referees and referees remain anonymous to authors.
General information: Reviewers should provide detailed, constructive comments to help
both the associate editor to make a decision on the manuscript and the author(s) to improve the manuscript. Reviewers should clearly state if the manuscript has (serious) flaws, additional experiments or data are needed or a potential conflict of interest could exist.
The journal is participating in a growing community of CrossCheck System’s users in order to ensure that the content published is original and trustworthy. CrossCheck is a medium that allows for comprehensive manuscripts screening, aimed to eliminate plagiarism and provide a high standard and quality peer-review process. Anyhow, reviewers should alert the editors if they suspect any misconduct (such as plagiarism) by the author(s).
Specific information: Reviews can be easily submitted via the Editorial Manager System.
Reviewers are asked to select a recommendation from a drop-down list and to answer several specific questions by making a selection from a list of options. Blind comments to the author(s) and confidential comments to the associate editor can be written in boxes.
Additionally, it is possible to upload files.
Timeline: We ask reviewers to return their reports within 21 days or to inform the associate editor as soon as possible if more time is needed.
For any questions regarding the journal and the review process, you can contact the Managing Editor Dr. Reinhard Neugschwandtner (reinhard.neugschwandtner@boku.ac.at).
