Inter-Research
Ethics in Science and Environmental Politics

REs and ARs are the backbone of quality control. Nominated by Editors and appointed by IR, Review Editors promptly, critically and constructively evaluate the merits of manuscripts sent to them by Editors.

Inter-Research Internet pages are presently consulted more than 800,000 times per month by readers from over 160 countries. Authors can be sure, therefore, that their work will become known quickly and widely.

You are invited to submit mss directly to one of the Editors listed below. Please consult GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS before preparing your ms. You may also wish to alert the Managing Editor concerning ms submission. The overall development of ESEP is escorted and guided by EEIU FELLOWS, distinguished supporters and representatives of the EEIU.
