The
GreenFacts Publication Procedure
1) Launch of a publication
- The subject of a Publication, the Editor and the
Source document are selected by the GreenFacts Board
of Directors
together with the Scientific
Board, which has the final decision power.
- The Scientific Board appoints a Review Coordinator
among its members.
2) Writing the
first draft
- The GreenFacts
Staff structures
the source document into questions and sub-questions for publication on
Level 3.
- The Editor then drafts the Level 1 and 2 summaries
of the source document. The Staff works with the Editor to ensure
that these summaries are clear and conform to its editorial
needs.
- The Editor and the Staff prepare together the links
and glossary for the study.
- The language of the summaries is reviewed by
a communication specialist to ensure that it is
comprehensible for the non-specialist.
3) Review and Publication
- The GreenFacts
Staff select stakeholder representatives from industry
and environment and health non-profit organizations for
a consultative pre-review of the draft.
- The Review Coordinator selects three renowned
experts for a peer-review of the GreenFacts
summaries to ensure that they are unbiased and faithful
to the source document.
- Upon integration of the peer reviewers' comments,
the President of the Scientific
Board authorizes
the final publication of the document on the website.
