Contributions should only be submitted after following the instructions for preparing your paper here.

Upload your document on ScholarOne via https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ejrr where “first time” authors can also register (click on the ‘Not yet registered’ link and follow the the necessary steps for registration);

Please make sure to specify the right type of manuscript you are uploading (articles, reports, case notes or book reviews).

Manuscripts should be sent preferably in Microsoft Word format. Please refrain from uploading PDF files as they lead to technical difficulties.

ORCID

European Journal of Risk Regulation now requires that all corresponding authors identify themselves using their ORCID iD when submitting a manuscript to the journal. ORCID provides a unique identifier for researchers and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript submission and grant applications, provides the following benefits: 

• Discoverability: ORCID increases the discoverability of your publications, by enabling smarter publisher systems and by helping readers to reliably find work that you’ve authored.
• Convenience: As more organisations use ORCID, providing your iD or using it to register for services will automatically link activities to your ORCID record, and will enable you to share this information with other systems and platforms you use, saving you re-keying information multiple times.
• Keeping track: Your ORCID record is a neat place to store and (if you choose) share validated information about your research activities and affiliations.

If you don’t already have an iD, you’ll need to create one if you decide to submit a manuscript to European Journal of Risk Regulation. You can register for one directly from your user account on Scholar One or via https://ORCID.org/register.

If you already have an iD, please use this when submitting, either by linking it to your Scholar One account or supplying it during submission by using the “Associate your existing ORCID ID” button.

Author's Name, Institutional Affiliation and Country

All EJRR contributions shall include the author’s name, institutional affiliation, and country, referenced in the author footnote.

Example:

Marcin Beck-Snyder*

*European University Institute, Florence, Italy.

Anonymising your paper

After the article manuscript is submitted, it will undergo the process of double-blind peer review where the accuracy, quality and relevance of the text will be evaluated. To this purpose, please make sure that your paper is anonymised before submission by eliminating any reference to your name or other elements that might enable the reviewer to immediately recognise the author. In any case, when uploading your Microsoft Word file, the system will convert it into a anonymous PDF file, deleting all meta data.

Competing interests declaration

Authors should include a competing interests declaration at the end of their manuscripts. However, if a declaration contains identifiable information, authors should include their declaration in a cover letter instead of including it within their manuscript – to preserve the anonymity of their manuscript. This declaration will be subject to editorial review and may be published in the article.

Competing interests are situations that could be perceived to exert an undue influence on the content or publication of an author’s work. They may include, but are not limited to, financial, professional, contractual or personal relationships or situations. If the manuscript has multiple authors, the author submitting must include competing interest declarations relevant to all contributing authors. Example wording for a declaration is as follows: “Competing interests: Author A is employed at company B. Author C owns shares in company D, is on the Board of company E and is a member of organisation F. Author G has received grants from company H.” If no competing interests exist, the declaration should state “Competing interests: The author(s) declare none”.
