Focus and Scope

Épijournal de Géométrie Algébrique publishes original research articles written in English or French. The scope of the journal covers algebraic geometry in a broad sense, including complex or arithmetic geometry, algebraic groups and representation theory. It also aims at promoting the Épisciences platform.

Peer-review Process

The quality of the articles submitted to Épijournal de Géométrie Algébrique is assessed along a classical peer-review process (single-blind peer-review process).

  • One editor is in charge of the article and chooses one or several reviewers to give their assessment (ideally within at most 3 months).
  • According to these reports, the editor makes up his or her mind about the article. In case of a positive opinion, the other editors are informed.
  • The final decision is taken commonly. During 15 days the other editors can consult the reports and give their (argued) opinion concerning the acceptance of the article. After this one-month notice period, the author is informed of the final decision.
  • This selection process as well as other operating rules of the journal are described in this document.

Original Material

Épijournal de Géométrie Algébrique publishes original studies that have not been published elsewhere. Any form of plagiarism would imply rejection of the article.

Languages

Published articles are written in English or French. In the latter case, they must contain a translation into English of the title and the abstract.

Cost

The journal is entirely controlled by members of the scientific community: no fee is then required to authors or their institutions in order to publish their work. This is made possible by the strong support of the CCSD (Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe) through the use of the Épisciences platform. The copy-editing of the articles is realized by the Reinie Erné society. It is funded by the FNSO project PEREPIGA jointly with a contribution of Lorraine University.
The editorial board, as well as the monitoring committee, are committed to making every effort that this strict Open Access policy endures through time.
