Our Evaluation Policy
Articles from scientific journals
Articles submitted to journals hosted by POPS are reviewed directly by each journal’s editorial board, in accordance with the principles of scientific peer review.
Please contact the journal in which you wish to publish for more information.
Eligibility of Projects
Submitted projects must:
- align with the POPS editorial policy,
- comply with the POPS code of ethics,
- follow best practices in Open Science.
Evaluation
For books and conference proceedings, a preliminary screening is conducted based on the application materials before the finalized manuscripts are evaluated.
Projects undergo a two-part evaluation:
- a scientific review by the Scientific Council,
- an editorial and technical review by the Technical Review Committee.
The Scientific Council evaluates the scientific quality of the proposed projects. It enlists reviewers from both within and outside Université Paris-Saclay to carry out this work.
The Technical Review Committee evaluates the editorial quality and technical feasibility of the projects, as well as their compliance with Open Science publication standards (open access, FAIR principles, deposit in open repositories, compliance with copyright laws, etc.).
Based on this dual assessment, the Press’s scientific leadership, with the assistance of the steering committee, decides whether or not to accept the project for publication by POPS.
