Frequently Asked Questions

Event Horizon Review is a professional online journal dedicated to the analytical and theoretical study of black holes—their origin, structure, and role in modern astrophysics. Founded in Geneva, Switzerland, our publication serves as a bridge between cutting-edge research and the broader scientific community, covering topics in general relativity, quantum mechanics, observational astronomy, and theoretical physics as they relate to black hole phenomena.

Our content is designed for researchers, physicists, academics, science journalists, graduate students, and enthusiasts of theoretical and observational astrophysics. While we maintain rigorous scientific standards, we strive to present complex concepts in accessible language suitable for readers with varying levels of expertise in astrophysics and physics.

We publish new research summaries, expert interviews, and analytical articles on an ongoing basis, typically releasing 2-3 major pieces per month. Our editorial calendar prioritizes timely coverage of significant developments in black hole physics, gravitational wave astronomy, and related fields. Subscribers receive notifications of new publications via our newsletter.

We welcome submissions from qualified researchers and academics. To submit an article, please send your manuscript along with a cover letter to editorial@eventhorizonreview.org. Submissions should include: (1) author information and institutional affiliation, (2) abstract (200-300 words), (3) full article text with references, and (4) any supplementary materials. Our editorial team will acknowledge receipt within 5 business days and provide initial feedback within 2-3 weeks.

All submitted articles undergo rigorous peer review by experts in relevant astrophysics subfields. The process typically involves: (1) initial editorial screening for scope and quality, (2) review by 2-3 independent referees with expertise in the topic area, (3) author revision based on reviewer feedback, and (4) final editorial decision. The complete review cycle generally takes 4-8 weeks, depending on reviewer availability and revision requirements.

We accept several content types: (1) Original research summaries and analyses, (2) Review articles synthesizing current understanding of specific topics, (3) Commentary on recent discoveries or developments, (4) Expert interviews and perspectives, (5) Educational content explaining fundamental concepts in black hole physics. All submissions must maintain scientific rigor and cite peer-reviewed sources appropriately.

Yes, our articles may be cited in academic and research contexts with proper attribution. Please use standard citation format: Author Name. (Publication Date). Article Title. Event Horizon Review. Retrieved from [URL]. While we maintain high editorial standards, we recommend readers also consult the original peer-reviewed research papers referenced in our articles for technical research applications.

Event Horizon Review content may be used for educational purposes in academic settings with appropriate attribution. Educators may share articles with students, incorporate content into course materials, and use excerpts in presentations. However, republication in commercial contexts or inclusion in textbooks requires explicit written permission. Contact us at info@eventhorizonreview.org for licensing inquiries.

Content accuracy is maintained through multiple mechanisms: (1) All articles are written or reviewed by qualified astrophysicists with relevant expertise, (2) References to peer-reviewed literature are verified, (3) Technical claims are cross-checked against established scientific consensus, (4) Editorial board members with specialized knowledge review content before publication. We issue corrections promptly if errors are identified post-publication.

All content on Event Horizon Review is currently available free of charge. We believe in open access to scientific information and do not require subscriptions or payment to read articles. Our newsletter subscription, also free, provides updates on new publications and developments in black hole physics research.
