Discussion Papers

The GESG publishes a Discussion Paper Series to which researchers are invited to submit papers. Articles undergo an initial referring process under the responsibility of the Secretary. Papers are submitted by e-mail to the Secretary who chooses a referee. The referring process is mostly informal and hopefully consists of an open discussion between the author and the referee. Final decisions are made by the Secretary. All Discussion Papers are to be presented in a Research Seminar.
