RE: Ocean Science from EGU

["RAPPAZ Francois" <francois.rappaz@unifr.ch>]

EGU has also a interesting reviewing process. See details here=20
http://www.copernicus.org/COPERNICUS/publications/copernicus_strategies.htm=
l

It uses a two steps process and the reviewing part in the ACPD server is=20
open to public comments. Since submitted papers are seen from everyone, I=
=20
suppose that rejected one can't be proposed to an other journal as easily=
=20
as it's done now. This seems to be a big difference with the traditional=20
reviewing process where a paper can try several journals before being=20
accepted.
