Frequently Asked Questions

Event Horizon Review is a professional online journal dedicated to the analytical and theoretical study of black holes and related astrophysics. We provide scientific journalism, expert commentary, research summaries, and theoretical analysis covering topics from stellar collapse and gravitational waves to quantum aspects of black hole physics. Our publication serves researchers, academics, students, and science enthusiasts interested in understanding one of the most fascinating phenomena in the universe.

Our content is produced by an editorial team of qualified astrophysicists and theoretical physicists with expertise in black hole physics, general relativity, and observational astronomy. All articles undergo peer review to ensure scientific accuracy. Our editorial board includes researchers affiliated with leading institutions and observatories worldwide, many of whom have contributed to major gravitational wave discoveries and theoretical advances in black hole research.

We welcome submissions from qualified researchers and science communicators. To propose an article or research summary, please contact us via our contact form or email info@eventhorizonreview.org with:

• A brief outline of the proposed topic (300-500 words)
• Your academic qualifications and research background
• Relevant publications or credentials
• Intended audience and scientific level of the piece

Our editorial team will review submissions and respond within 2-3 weeks.

When citing our content in academic or research contexts, please use the following format:

General format:
[Author or "Editorial Team"]. "[Article Title]." Event Horizon Review. [Publication Date]. [URL]. Accessed [Access Date].

For specific citation style requirements (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.), please adapt the above information accordingly.

Yes, all scientific content published on Event Horizon Review undergoes internal peer review by qualified astrophysicists on our editorial board. While this is not formal journal peer review, we maintain rigorous standards for scientific accuracy, proper citation of sources, and clear communication of complex concepts. Our reviewers check calculations, verify references to primary literature, and ensure that content accurately represents current scientific understanding. Any uncertainties or areas of active debate in the field are clearly identified in our articles.

Yes, our content may be used for educational and non-commercial purposes, provided that:

• Proper attribution is given to Event Horizon Review
• Content is not modified or misrepresented
• Use complies with fair use principles and applicable copyright laws
• Commercial use requires explicit written permission

Educators are welcome to reference, quote, or link to our articles in courses, presentations, and educational materials. For extensive use or republication, please contact us for permission.

We publish new articles and research summaries on a regular basis, typically 2-4 major pieces per month, along with shorter commentary and news items as significant developments occur in the field. Publication frequency may vary depending on major astronomical observations (such as gravitational wave detections), new theoretical breakthroughs, or scheduled expert interviews. We recommend checking our blog page regularly or contacting us about newsletter subscription options to stay updated on new content.

While black holes are our primary focus, we also cover closely related topics in astrophysics and theoretical physics, including:

• Neutron stars and extreme matter physics
• Gravitational wave astronomy and detection methods
• General relativity and tests of gravitational theories
• High-energy astrophysical processes
• Quantum field theory in curved spacetime
• Numerical relativity and computational astrophysics
• Cosmological implications of black hole physics

Our coverage extends to any physics that helps illuminate the nature and behavior of black holes.

We welcome collaboration opportunities with research institutions, universities, observatories, and individual researchers. Potential collaboration areas include:

• Guest articles and research summaries
• Expert interviews and commentary
• Joint educational initiatives
• Conference coverage and reporting
• Data visualization and public outreach projects

Please contact us through our contact form with details about your proposed collaboration, including objectives, timeline, and relevant background information. Our editorial team will review proposals and respond within 2-3 weeks.

We maintain scientific accuracy through multiple mechanisms:

• Qualified Authors: Content is written by or in consultation with researchers holding advanced degrees in physics or astrophysics
• Peer Review: All articles undergo review by at least two qualified scientists on our editorial board
• Primary Sources: We cite peer-reviewed literature and primary research publications
• Fact Checking: Mathematical expressions, physical constants, and quantitative claims are verified
• Uncertainty Communication: We clearly distinguish established physics from speculative or controversial areas
• Corrections Policy: Errors are corrected promptly with transparent notation when identified

If you identify a potential error, please contact us with specific details so we can investigate and respond appropriately.
