Review Process and Policy
- All submissions must be grounded in the fields of environmental justice, Earth liberation, revolutionary environmentalism and intersectional total liberation social justice and locate their arguments in existing GTPJ essays/reviews/conversations when possible. All submissions need to be jargon-free and promote activism.
- All submissions must not be under review with any other publication.
- All submissions must be original and not published anywhere else such as wordpress, Facebook, blogs, website, or academia.edu prior or after without proper permission from the original source and from the GTPJ Editors.
- Upon acceptance for review, the editors will send manuscripts, under a double-peer reviewed process, to no less than two, and generally three reviewers. Reviewers provide their recommendations to the Issue editor(s), who makes the final decision to accept the manuscript.
- Everyone who submits text to be reviewed for publication in GTPJ will be assigned an Issue Editor, who will be the only person of contact with GTPJ.
- If a dispute/conflict arises that cannot be resolved with the Issue editor the author(s)/reviewer(s) may contact the Editors of GTPJ, but not anyone affiliated with ICAS. If a legal matter the Editors of GTPJ will if necessary involve the ICAS Board of Directors.
Submissions will be assigned to one of the four following categories:
1. accept without revisions
2. accept with editorial revisions
3. revise and resubmit for peer review
4. reject
- Every effort will be made to inform authors of the Issue editors’ decision within 60 days of receipt of a manuscript.
- Authors whose manuscripts are accepted for publication will be asked to submit a 50 to 80 word biography that includes their institutional or organizational affiliations if applicable, professional title, e-mail, country, and one to six research fields of interests.
5. Once accepted for the GTPJ the author(s)/reviewer(s) will work on a structured timetable with deadlines to edit the text for publication. A final draft of the text will be sent from the Issue editor to the author(s)/reviewer(s) of the text to approve with the ability for minor grammar, spelling and formatting errors with 5 days to reply. Once sent back with approval with edits attached in a Word Doc. and/or just an approval via e-mail, the Issue editor will reply with acknowledgement of the e-mail Cc:ing the GTPJ editors.
6. After the issue is formatted by the Issue editor and GTPJ Editors it is uploaded via PDF, Word Doc, and Issuu.com. Once published/uploaded no re-editing is allowed only in the case of a legal situation where the material written by the author(s)/review(s) is under question.
7. The final process once the Issue is published online, is for the contributors, Issue editor, GTPJ Editorial Team, and ICAS to promote the Issue through e-mail listerserves, social media, websites, blogs, flyers, media, newsletters, etc.

Publication Dates
GTPJ uses a rolling submission process, allowing authors to submit at any time during the year without time restraints or quota of articles in an issue. Rolling submission, the most current scholarly method of accepting publications, allows for more timely publications and current scholarship to enter the public sphere in a more timely fashion, rather than conforming to traditional academic print journal guidelines.
We are pleased to accept your submissions at any time and will move quickly through the review process to ensure timeliness.
For general submission, please submit to: greentheoryandpraxis@gmail.com.
