Author guidance on generative AI tools

Authors may wish to use artificial intelligence tools or technologies (“AI Technology”) when preparing a manuscript or other material for publication in journals published by EAM (the “Material”). EAM welcomes the thoughtful use of AI Technology. When used responsibly, authors can maintain high editorial standards, safeguard intellectual property and other rights, and foster transparency with readers.

While EAM authors remain fully accountable for their Material and any Technologies or sources they use in its creation, EAM recognizes AI Technology’s growing role in manuscript preparation and provides the following guidance.

Submission status guide

What does my submission status mean?

This guide explains the main workflow stages and editorial decisions that authors may encounter after submitting a manuscript to Environmental and Agriculture Management (EAM) through Open Journal Systems (OJS) 3. To check your submission, sign in to your OJS account and open your submission record from the dashboard.

The four main OJS 3 editorial stages

Submission
Step 1

Review
Step 2

Copyediting
Step 3

Production
Step 4

Submission statuses and their meanings

State / Stage / Decision	Description
Draft / Incomplete Submission state	The submission form has been started but not completed. The manuscript has not yet been formally submitted to EAM. Complete all required steps and finalize the submission.
Submission / Submitted Workflow stage	The manuscript has been successfully submitted through OJS. The editorial office checks the submission requirements, and the Editor-in-Chief conducts an initial assessment of suitability, novelty, and alignment with the journal’s scope. A manuscript may be declined at this stage without external review.
Review / Under Review Workflow stage	The manuscript has moved into the Review stage. The assigned Editorial Board member manages the evaluation and may be inviting reviewers, awaiting reports, or assessing completed reviews. EAM normally obtains evaluations from at least two independent reviewers through double-anonymous peer review.
Revisions Requested Editorial decision	The handling editor has requested changes, commonly corresponding to a minor revision. Follow the decision letter, upload the revised manuscript and a point-by-point response in the existing OJS submission, and inform the editor through the discussion facility when appropriate. EAM does not set a fixed author-revision deadline.
Resubmit for Review Editorial decision	Substantial revisions are required, commonly corresponding to a major revision, and the revised manuscript may undergo another review round. Upload the revised files under the original OJS submission; do not create a new submission. EAM does not set a fixed author-revision deadline.
Accepted Editorial decision	The assigned Editorial Board member has formally accepted the manuscript for publication. The manuscript can proceed to Copyediting. Acceptance does not mean that the final typeset article has already been published.
Copyediting Workflow stage	The accepted manuscript is checked for language, consistency, clarity, references, and editorial presentation. The author may be contacted to clarify or approve copyediting changes.
Production Workflow stage	The manuscript is being prepared for publication, including layout, typesetting, article files, and proofreading. The author may be asked to review and correct the galley proof.
Scheduled for Publication Publication status	The article has been assigned to an upcoming issue or publication schedule, but it is not yet publicly available as a published article.
Published Publication status	The article has been officially published on the EAM website and is available to readers through its article page or journal issue.
Declined / Rejected Editorial decision	The manuscript has not been accepted for publication. This may result from initial screening by the Editor-in-Chief or from a post-review decision by the assigned Editorial Board member. The decision and relevant explanation are communicated through OJS.
Withdrawal Requested Editorial procedure	The author has asked the editorial office to withdraw an unpublished manuscript. This is a request handled through editorial correspondence, not necessarily a separate status shown automatically by every OJS 3 installation. Authors should contact the EAM editorial office rather than assuming that a submission can be withdrawn by clicking a dashboard button.

Important information about the EAM review timeline

Invited reviewers have 14 calendar days to respond to an invitation. The standard review-report deadline is 14 calendar days after the scheduled response due date. This does not mean that EAM guarantees a final editorial decision within 28 days; reviewer recruitment, additional review rounds, and other editorial requirements may affect the overall timeline.

EAM imposes no fixed deadline for authors to submit revisions. Authors should use the existing submission record and provide a point-by-point response to reviewer and editor comments.

Note on OJS terminology: The exact labels shown on a dashboard may vary with the OJS 3 version and user role. Submission, Review, Copyediting, and Production are workflow stages; revision requests, acceptance, and rejection are editorial decisions. Terms such as “initial screening” and “withdrawal requested” are explanations of journal activities and are not necessarily separate automatic OJS statuses.

Further assistance: Consult the Peer Review Process and Policy or contact the EAM Editorial Office.

Before You Begin

Ethics in publishing

Please see our information pages on Ethics in publishing.

Declaration of competing interest

All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential conflicts of interest include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding.

Submission declaration and verification

Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture, or academic thesis, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright holder.

To verify originality, your article may be checked by the originality detection service Crossref Similarity Check.

Use of inclusive language

Inclusive language acknowledges diversity, conveys respect to all people, is sensitive to differences, and promotes equal opportunities. Content should make no assumptions about the beliefs or commitments of any reader; contain nothing which might imply that one individual is superior to another on the grounds of age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability or health condition; and use inclusive language throughout.

Authors should ensure that writing is free from bias, stereotypes, slang, reference to dominant culture and/or cultural assumptions. We advise to seek gender neutrality by using plural nouns ("farmer/clients") as default/wherever possible to avoid using "he, she," or "he/she." We recommend avoiding the use of descriptors that refer to personal attributes such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability or health condition unless they are relevant and valid.

These guidelines are meant as a point of reference to help identify appropriate language but are by no means exhaustive or definitive.

Author contributions

For transparency, we encourage authors to submit an author statement file outlining their individual contributions to the paper using the relevant CRediT roles: Conceptualization; Data curation; Formal analysis; Funding acquisition; Investigation; Methodology; Project administration; Resources; Software; Supervision; Validation; Visualization; Roles/Writing - original draft; Writing - review & editing. Authorship statements should be formatted with the names of authors first and CRediT role(s) following. See detail in authorship and contributhorship.

Changes to authorship

Authors are expected to consider carefully the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and provide the definitive list of authors at the time of the original submission. Any addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should be made only before the manuscript has been accepted and only if approved by the journal Editor.

To request such a change, the Editor must receive the following from the corresponding author: (a) the reason for the change in author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed. For more information detail please check our Change Author Template.

Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider the addition, deletion or rearrangement of authors after the manuscript has been accepted. While the Editor considers the request, publication of the manuscript will be suspended. If the manuscript has already been published in an online issue, any requests approved by the Editor will result in a corrigendum.

Author rights

As an author you (or your employer or institution) have certain rights to reuse your work.

Role of the funding source

You are requested to identify who provided financial support for the conduct of the research and/or preparation of the article and to briefly describe the role of the sponsor(s), if any, in study design; in the collection, analysis and interpretation of data; in the writing of the report; and in the decision to submit the article for publication. If the funding source(s) had no such involvement then this should be stated.

Open access
