Peer Review Policy

Peer Review Policy

All of the journal’s articles are subjected to peer review. Articles submitted for possible publication are subjected to a double-blind, peer-review process. Articles are first reviewed by editors. The editor may reject it out of hand either because it may not fall in the domain of our journal or because it is manifestly of low quality so that it cannot be considered at all. Articles that are found suitable for review are then sent to two experts in the field of the paper. Referees of a paper are unknown to each other. Referees are asked to classify the paper as publishable immediately, publishable with amendments and improvements, or not publishable. Referees’ evaluations usually include an explicit recommendation of what to do with the manuscript. Referees’ comments are then seen by the author.

Editors should be ready to justify any important deviation from the described process. Editors should not reverse decisions on publication unless serious problems are identified.

The editor is responsible to give a general guideline to authors and reviewers. We follow transparency, merit and excellence and our editors evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the author/s. Editors´ decision to accept or reject a paper for publication should be based only on the paper´s importance, originality and clarity, and its relevance to the stated domain of the journal.
