Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Journal
In 2024 the Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Organization will begin the publication of the Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Journal, a quarterly publication dedicated to the study of mindfulness and ecotherapy, and the intersection of the two.
We are currently accepting submissions for the journal.
The Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Journal will follow a double-blind reviewing procedure. This means that the author will remain anonymous to the reviewers throughout peer review. It is the responsibility of the author to anonymize the manuscript and any associated materials prior to submission for review.
Author names, affiliations and any other potentially identifying information should be removed from the manuscript text and any accompanying files (such as figures of supplementary material).
A separate Title Page should be submitted, containing title, author names, affiliations, and the contact information of the corresponding author. Any acknowledgements, disclosures, or funding information should also be included on this page.
Authors should avoid citing their own work in a way that could reveal their identity.
This journal also publishes special/guest-edited issues. The peer review process for these articles is the same as the peer review process of the journal in general.
If a guest editor authors an article in their issue/collection, they will not handle the peer review process.
Submission of a manuscript implies:
1. that the work described has not been published before
2. that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else
3. that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out
The publishers of the Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Journal will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
Please ensure you provide all relevant editable source files at every submission and revision. Failing to submit a complete set of editable source files will result in your article not being considered for review. For your manuscript text please always submit in common word processing formats such as .docx or LaTeX.
Authors of research and review papers, excluding editorial and book review submissions, are allowed to provide the names and contact information for, at a maximum, 4 to 6 possible reviewers of their paper. When submitting a paper to the Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Journal, authors must provide complete contact information for each recommended reviewer, along with a specific reason for your suggestion in the comments box for each person.
The Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy Journal will consider reviewers recommended by the authors only if the reviewers’ institutional email is provided. A minimum of two suggested reviewers should be from a university or research institute in the United States. You may not suggest the Editor or Associate Editors of the journal as potential reviewers. Although there is no guarantee that the editorial office will use your suggested reviewers, your help is appreciated and may speed up the selection of appropriate reviewers.
Authors should note that it is inappropriate to list as preferred reviewers researchers from the same institution as any of the authors, collaborators and co-authors from the past five years as well as anyone whose relationship with one of the authors may present a conflict of interest. The journal will not tolerate this practice and reserves the right to reject submissions on this basis.
