Ecothe is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to interdisciplinary research in ecotheology and sustainability.  We welcome original contributions in British English, French, German, and Scandinavian languages (Norwegian, Swedish, Danish).  All scientific articles undergo a double-blind peer review process. 

Each issue is overseen by an editorial committee, typically consisting of three to four members of the editorial board.
