EJSS is the proud sponsor of the ECSS Young Investigators Award. By creating this connection, the College has brought together two of its key missions:
Disseminating high quality, innovative science
Empowering the development of young scientists.
What does this mean?
The College is reinvesting the journal’s success back into the promotion and development of young scientists through the YIA programme. This link will create a platform for young scientists to develop as researchers and become future authors, reviewers, and editors of EJSS and other scientific journals.

Competition to publish in the journal is high. Here are some tips from our Editorial Team:
Don’t submit:
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees.
All peer review is double blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
