About ESEV-25

Earth Systems and Environment (ESEV) publishes peer-reviewed original and review articles on the entire range of Earth systems and environment in order to further our understanding of the natural workings and various processes and interactions that govern the Earth systems in response to complex environmental problems caused by natural and human-induced forcings.

ESEV journal disseminates high-quality information on cutting-edge developments in the various research fields of Earth systems and environment based on new methods, theories, and applications. It has a multidisciplinary character, focusing on interrelated scientific topics combining diverse aspects of the Earth systems and environment including:

Climate and atmospheric sciences; Earth and environment related agricultural sciences; natural hazards and engineering; marine sciences; ecology; desertification; pollution; geo-environmental hazards; droughts and floods; hydrosphere, lithosphere and troposphere dynamics; waste management; numerical models of earth systems; geographical information systems; remote sensing; and environmental health, etc.

In order to meaningfully explore these topics and further foster collaborative endeavors, researchers in the environmental Earth science disciplines are invited to contribute their original research and review articles on significant scientific advances in the form of short abstracts to the ESEV Journal Annual Meeting (ESEV-2025). Following the conference, all contributions will be published in the conference proceedings (indexed in Scopus), while the best selected papers will appear in a special issue of the ESEV Journal (see Conference Tracks).

ESEV-25 is committed to contributing positively and constructively to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by publishing cutting-edge research studies focused on addressing environmental issues that hinder sustainable development in its proceedings and special issues. ESEV-25 supports the Sustainable Development Goals by promoting intensive research on these global goals and attempting to address some of society’s most pressing concerns and greatest grand challenges.

Useful information

  • Your abstract should not exceed 350 words in total and should summarize concisely a new research study or a review of previously published research to draw new conclusions on a topic.
  • After acceptance of your abstract and invitation to extend it (optional not obligatory, i.e. you only need to extend your abstract if you wish to publish your work in the conference proceedings), your conference paper (extended abstract) should be at least 2500 words long (max. 4000 words) and include at least four references to recent research (published within the last five years). This proceedings paper will be peer reviewed after it has been checked for plagiarism using iThenticate software. If a plagiarism content is observed by the conference proceedings editors (see Publications and Scientific Committee), you will be asked to rewrite and resubmit it. If the resubmitted version is still more than 20% plagiarized, it will be rejected.
  • We suggest taking this Course on Plagiarism to acquire useful skills in preventing plagiarism. This course, consisting of four modules, is free and offers a thorough introduction to the topic.
  • To process your conference paper (extended abstract) on time and to ease the reviewer's tasks, we recommend you use free editing services such as Grammarly. That way, the reviewers could concentrate on the science, not editing typos. This will also help us to publish the proceeding books much faster.
  • After peer review and if the conference paper is accepted by the editors, you will be asked to revise and correct it. After resubmission of the revised version, the editors will re-check the paper for quality and plagiarism and, if accepted, the corresponding author will be requested to sign Springer’s Consent-to-Publish form, prerequisite for publication in the conference proceedings. Please note that there may be more than one round of peer review.
  • After evaluating all presentations during the conference and taking into account the comments of the reviewers and editors during the pre-conference evaluation process, the authors of the best papers will be invited after the conference to submit an extended version (8000 to 12000 words) of their conference papers for publication in a special issue of one of our partner journals (see Publications). Publishing your short paper in the conference proceedings by Springer does not prevent you from submitting the full version of the same work to the Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration (IF = 2) or to one of our partner journals after the conference.
  • Your proceedings (short) paper must be improved based on the conference review process and on the discussion at the conference. At least 60% of the material in the journal paper (full version) should be new and the exposition improved. In general, conference papers are based on preliminary results which are open for discussion. However, journal articles should contain finished research results with an in-depth discussion and clear conclusions.
  • It will be possible to present accepted studies online without attending the conference in person. Authors can now submit their abstract and decide later, before 15 January 2025, whether they want to attend and present to the audience directly or simply present online. More details on the “online presentation” feature will be provided after notification of acceptances (see Important Dates).

How to prepare your abstract (max. 350 words)

Publications

Conference Proceedings

All authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit (optional) a conference paper for evaluation (see Important Dates). All accepted short papers after the peer-review process will be published as chapters in the conference proceedings by Springer. The registered author(s) of each accepted paper will receive a "Springer Certificate of Acceptance" certifying that the paper has been accepted for publication in the conference proceedings.

The proceedings of the ESEV-25 will be made available in the SpringerLink Digital Library which is directly linked to Research Gate and will be published in Springer ASTI series which is indexed in Scopus (CiteScore = 0,7 as of March 2024):

ASTI Series

Note that authors of accepted papers in the conference proceedings and who do not plan to attend the ESEV-25 should register before the deadline (see Important Dates and Registration). If you are not sure whether you or one of your co-authors will be able to attend the conference, you should bear in mind that there is a fee to be paid before this deadline to cover the editorial handling and evaluation of your paper before publication in the conference proceedings. The accepted paper will not be included in the conference proceedings without paying the fee. If you pay the fee and decide to attend the conference afterward, the paid amount will be deduced from your total registration fee.

The proceedings of ESEV-25 will consist of several volumes that will focus on research subjects relevant to Conference Tracks. The Proceedings Editors will be chosen from the Scientific Committee and external reviewers who have shown strong support.
