Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Event Horizon Review, our submission process, collaborations, and publication standards.

What is Event Horizon Review?

Event Horizon Review is a professional online journal dedicated to the analytical and theoretical study of black holes. We publish scientific journalism, expert commentary, theoretical analysis, research summaries, and interviews with leading astrophysicists. Our publication bridges complex theoretical frameworks with accessible scientific communication for researchers, academics, students, and science enthusiasts worldwide.

How can I submit an article or research summary?

We welcome submissions from researchers, academics, and science journalists. Please send your proposal or manuscript to info@eventhorizonreview.org with a brief cover letter describing your background, the proposed article topic, and its relevance to black hole physics. Our editorial board reviews all submissions and typically responds within 2-3 weeks. Include your academic credentials and any relevant publications in your submission.

What are your editorial standards and review process?

All articles undergo rigorous editorial review by our team of astrophysicists and science editors. We verify scientific accuracy, check citations, and ensure clarity of presentation. Articles must maintain scientific rigor while being accessible to educated readers. We fact-check claims against peer-reviewed sources and may request revisions before publication. Our editorial process typically takes 3-6 weeks from submission to publication.

Do you accept articles from graduate students or early-career researchers?

Yes, we actively encourage submissions from graduate students and early-career researchers. We recognize the value of emerging perspectives in the field and provide mentorship through our editorial process. Student submissions should demonstrate solid understanding of the relevant physics and appropriate use of scientific literature. We're particularly interested in clear explanations of complex concepts and summaries of recent research developments.

How do you ensure scientific accuracy in published content?

Our editorial board comprises active researchers in theoretical astrophysics, general relativity, and observational astronomy. All technical claims are verified against peer-reviewed literature. We require proper citations for significant scientific statements and consult additional experts when reviewing specialized topics. If errors are identified after publication, we promptly issue corrections and update the relevant articles.

Can I request an interview with your editorial team?

We conduct interviews with leading researchers, theorists, and observational astronomers working in black hole physics and related fields. If you would like to propose yourself or nominate a colleague for an interview, please contact us at info@eventhorizonreview.org with information about research focus, recent publications, and topics for discussion. We select interview subjects based on research significance and relevance to our readership.

How can institutions or research groups collaborate with Event Horizon Review?

We welcome collaborations with universities, research institutions, and observatory groups. Collaboration opportunities include commissioned articles on recent discoveries, coverage of observational campaigns, and educational content development. Contact our editorial office to discuss potential partnerships, grant-funded science communication projects, or institutional subscriptions for research groups.

Do you cover topics beyond black holes?

While black holes remain our primary focus, we cover related astrophysical phenomena including neutron stars, gravitational waves, relativistic astrophysics, and high-energy processes. Topics involving general relativity, quantum gravity, and observational techniques relevant to compact object studies are within our scope. We occasionally publish articles on broader cosmological topics when they connect to black hole physics.

Can I republish or cite content from your website?

Academic citations of our articles are encouraged. Please follow standard citation practices and include author names, article titles, "Event Horizon Review" as the publication, and the URL. For republication or substantial excerpts beyond fair use, please contact us for permission at info@eventhorizonreview.org. We typically grant permission for educational use with proper attribution. Commercial republication requires explicit written authorization.

How can I stay updated on new publications?

Currently, you can check our blog section regularly for new articles. We are developing a newsletter subscription service. In the meantime, you can contact us at info@eventhorizonreview.org to be added to our notification list for major publications. Follow our social media channels on LinkedIn, Twitter, and ResearchGate for updates on new articles and featured content.

Are your articles peer-reviewed?

Event Horizon Review is a science journalism publication, not a peer-reviewed academic journal. However, all content undergoes editorial review by experts in the field. Articles summarizing published research reference the original peer-reviewed sources. For original research contributions, we recommend submission to peer-reviewed journals, and we're happy to feature summaries of accepted papers on our platform.

Do you provide educational resources for students?

Yes, our Resources section includes educational materials suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. We publish introductory articles on fundamental concepts, mathematical frameworks, and observational techniques. We're developing additional educational content including recommended reading lists, problem sets, and supplementary materials. Educators interested in using our content should contact us regarding permissions and supplementary materials.
