Abstract:
This article aims to assist authors in presenting good topics correctly when publishing in the field of radioecology in the Radiation Protection Dosimetry (RPD). It is also intended to help reviewers in reviewing and improving submitted drafts. The topics covered in this article are based on the experience the authors have gained in recent years as reviewers and co-editors of the RPD. The guidelines in this article aim to improve the quality of submissions and ensure that lower-quality submissions are either significantly improved or withheld. We only address a few typical points here and point out that these editorial comments refer exclusively to the above-mentioned field of radioecology.
