How to publish

Authors are required to submit their papers in MS Word format using the provided Article Template. The papers must be written in clear, correct, and concise English.

The minimum and maximum word limit for a manuscript is between 2,000 and 6,000 words.

The Abstract should be between 100 and 300 words, followed by 3 to 5 keywords.

The European Research Journal (ERJ) is not responsible for any instances of plagiarism in the author's work. The responsibility for ensuring originality lies with the author.

It is recommended that authors adhere to the referencing style outlined in the 6th edition of the ‘Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association’ (APA), or Chicago or Harvard style. 

Deviate from APA to optimize your work, as already included in the other styles, as required by academic practice: 

• Give the exact page numbers, even if you cite paraphrased sources, as otherwise your submission would not be verifiable;
• always include the publisher's name in addition to the place of publication, for example: Heidelberg: Springer; 
• for online sources, include not only the URL, but also the exact date you accessed the URL. 

And don't just forget the short form of the source citation (name, year, page number) at the end of each quotation, but make it clear beforehand, for example by mentioning the author's name, where exactly the external text begins, as required by copyright law and academic practice.

The acceptance and publication of a paper in our journal implies that the author consents to transfer the copyright of the paper to the European Research Journal (ERJ) as the publisher.

We have adopted a policy of providing free and open access to full-text papers. We do not impose any subscription fees on our readers. In adopting this alternative model, we impose a publication fee from authors to partially cover article handling charges. Following the acceptance of the paper, the author will be required to pay the Article Processing Fee. The processing fee for an accepted paper is € 29 (incl. German VAT). Upon receipt of the fee, the publication is considered to have been commissioned by the author, and the European Research Journal (ERJ) assumes the rights to the publication.

Once a paper has been published, a refund of the publication fee is not possible, as the costs of editing and publication have already been incurred. It is recommended that prospective authors familiarise themselves with the journal in advance of making a submission.

Manuscripts can be submitted via our website using our Article Template. Alternatively, they can be sent as an email attachment to: dtrrsrchjrnl. Should you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The EUROPEAN RESEARCH JOURNAL (IRJ) lists each paper according to its publication date. There are no issues in the classical sense. We assign each paper in its tags recognizably to its relevant scientific discipline(s), this also enables interdisciplinary publications.
