Aims and Scope
“As an official journal of the Korean Society of Ecology and Infrastructure Engineering, the journal of Ecology and Resilient Infrastructure aims to promote and disseminate emergent disciplines and technologies between ecology and infrastructural engineering. The journal aims to act as a forum for ecologists, engineers, and landscape architects to jointly discuss the studies of natural ecosystems under the influence of human activities, focusing mainly on the implementation of environmentally sound and sustainable urban and infrastructural developments. The journal also aims to provide a forum for promoting “green infra” as a resilient infrastructure of a network of high-quality green and blue spaces and other environmental features, which is designed and managed to deliver a wide range of ecosystem services and protect biodiversity in both rural and urban settings.
The scope of the journal encompasses broadly the areas of 1) eco-technology, 2) bioengineering, 3) ecosystem restoration including streams, wetlands, coastal areas, and contaminated lands, 4) pollution control and enhancement of amenity of infrastructures by ecosystems, and 5) network design of urban green infrastructure. Its regional focus is mainly Korea, but it also welcomes submissions from researchers all over the world.”

3. Peer Review Process
“When a manuscript is submitted to the ERI, the Editorial Office checks if the manuscript was prepared according to the guidelines, gives it a manuscript number (e.g., ERI15-01) and assigns it to one of managing editors for initial quality check. The manuscript number should be referred to in any subsequent communications between the corresponding author and the Editor or the Editorial Office. The initial quality check of the manuscript includes its format, adherence to the aims and scope of the journal, and plagiarism. All manuscripts are reviewed confidentially by at least two qualified reviewers including members of the editorial board. The authors’ names and affiliations are removed during peer review (double-blind peer review). The reviewers operate under the Guidelines for Reviewers.
The corresponding author is generally notified of the Editor's decision to accept, reject, or require modification or revision by the Editor or the Editorial Office within 15 working days of submission. Manuscripts that have been rejected may be resubmitted once the major criticisms have been properly addressed. When a manuscript is returned to the corresponding author for modification or revision, it should be returned to the editor within 3 months, or it may be considered withdrawn. The authors should supply the Response to the reviewers along with the modified or revised manuscript. When the editor has decided that a manuscript is acceptable for publication, the corresponding author and the Editorial Office will be notified. If necessary, the corresponding author will be asked to re-edit the manuscript to improve the English.”
