Scipora welcomes submissions from researchers, academics, and professionals contributing to engineering, hazards, structural resilience, climate adaptation, and applied sciences. Our platform is designed to support authors throughout the entire publication journey—from manuscript submission to global dissemination of published research.
Why Publish with Scipora
Publishing with Scipora provides authors with a professional, transparent, and efficient scholarly publishing experience. All journals hosted on the platform are peer-reviewed and independently managed by expert editorial boards, ensuring that manuscripts are evaluated strictly on scientific merit, originality, and relevance.
Scipora supports authors by providing a modern publishing environment that enhances visibility, accessibility, and long-term impact of their research.
Submission and Editorial Process
Authors submit manuscripts through a streamlined online submission system designed to simplify the publication workflow. Once submitted, each manuscript undergoes an initial editorial assessment followed by a rigorous peer-review process managed by the journal’s Editorial Board.
All editorial decisions are made independently by the Editor-in-Chief and editorial team, based on reviewer feedback and scholarly evaluation. Scipora does not influence editorial decisions at any stage of the process.
Peer Review Standards
All submissions are subject to rigorous peer review to ensure scientific quality and integrity. Depending on the journal, the review process may follow single-blind, double-blind, or open peer-review models. Authors may be asked to revise their manuscripts in response to reviewer and editorial feedback to meet publication standards.
Author Responsibilities
Authors are expected to:
- Submit original, unpublished work not under consideration elsewhere
- Ensure accuracy and integrity of research data and findings
- Properly cite all sources and acknowledge contributions
- Disclose any conflicts of interest
- Obtain necessary ethical approvals for research involving humans, animals, or sensitive data
- Ensure all listed co-authors have approved the final manuscript
Open Access and Visibility
All published articles are made openly accessible, ensuring that research is freely available to readers worldwide. This maximizes visibility, citation potential, and academic impact. Articles are assigned persistent identifiers and are supported by indexing and dissemination services to enhance discoverability.
Production and Support Services
Once accepted, manuscripts undergo professional production, including formatting, typesetting, metadata preparation, and digital publication. Scipora ensures that published articles meet high standards of presentation and are optimized for online access and indexing.
