The elephant quality promise

We want Elephant in the Lab to be a safe space to test out bold ideas and critical thoughts in a supportive environment. This is why we want to give our authors the best possible publishing experience. This means that for each article (Opinion Piece, Short Analysis) we offer friendly feedback from one of our editors. For each article by non-English speakers, we also try to organize proof reading by a native speaker. Each article will be formatted in our beautiful Elephant in the Lab design and will receive a DOI. We use our channels to bring your thoughts into the world. Your ideas are our mission.
