Information For Librarians

E-BPJ publishes peer-reviewed research on the relationships between people and their environments, from authors in every region. Papers reach the journal through the international conferences of the Association of Malaysian Environment-Behaviour Researchers (AMER).

Before you submit

• Aims and Scope: check that your paper examines the relationship between a specific environment and human behaviour or Quality of Life. Papers outside the scope are declined at screening.
• Calls for Papers: upcoming conferences, deadlines and how to submit.
• Author Instructions: template, structure, references and the statements every paper must include.
• Author Fees: what is charged, how much, and when.

Peer review

Every full paper is screened, checked for similarity with Turnitin, and reviewed by independent reviewers under double-blind review. The editors decide on the basis of the reviews alone. Presenting at a conference or paying a fee does not guarantee publication. See Peer Review for the process and typical timelines, and Research Misconduct for how to appeal a decision.

Ethics

Papers must be original and not under consideration elsewhere. Authors must report ethics approval and consent where needed, declare conflicts of interest, include a Data Availability Statement, and disclose any use of generative AI. The corresponding author must provide an ORCID iD. See Ethics and Malpractice.

Copyright and open access

Authors keep copyright and publish under the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence. Articles are free to read on publication, and authors may deposit the published PDF in repositories and on academic networks straight away. See Copyright and Licensing.
