Editorial board

Who is answerable for what is published

Peer review at Journal of Evolutionary Science is overseen by named researchers. Each record below carries that editor’s role, affiliation and stated research areas, and both the name and the portrait open their profile, so a reader can check any of it independently.

How the board works

The editorial board oversees peer review and upholds the journal's standards for evolutionary research.

All submissions undergo initial editorial screening. Manuscripts that meet the journal's scope and minimum requirements proceed to independent peer review. Manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent subject-matter experts.

Editors recuse themselves from decisions on their own submissions; those manuscripts are handled independently. Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal. Those decisions are independent of fees, services, memberships, and editorial roles.

Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request.

    Research areas

    My research interests include biogeochemical processes of nutrients, heavy metals and other contaminants in surface waters (rivers, lakes, wetlands) and farmlands, ecological engineering for wastewater treatment, e.g. phytoremediation, treatment wetlands, ecological ditches, etc. I have published over 70 articles in peer-reviewed journals related to biogeochemical processes of contaminants and ecological treatment technologies, in which more than 40 papers were published in international journals indexed by SCI.
