Peer review journals
Peer review journals are the highest level in terms of technical and scientific dissemination. Before to be published, manuscripts proposed on peer review journals are evaluated by a group of experts in the field (from 2 to 5, depending on journal policies), coordinated by an Editor of the journal. In other words, authors "proof" the scientific relevance and the interest of their works in front of the "Scientific Community", usually university professors and researchers.
With more than 40 publication in peer review journals, IRIDRA had, since the beginning of its activity, the interest to let evaluate the scientific values of their works in front of the maximum experts in the field. In this way, IRIDRA was able to propose to its clients among the most scientifically-accepted innovative solutions and, at the same time, to maintain a relevant role in national and international excellence. It must be also noted that IRIDRA published several papers in two of the most relevant journal in the fields of nature-based solutions and sustainable water management, i.e. Ecological Engineering and Water Science & Technology.
