Peer Review Process
After receiving the submission, the managing editor checks the submission and decides whether it is in compliance with the requirements stated in author guidlines and whether it fits within the scope of the journal. Submissions are then assigned to two peer-reviewers. To ensure the integrity of the blind peer-review for submissions to this journal, every effort should be made to prevent the identities of the authors and reviewers from being known to each other. The reviewers are required to decide if they do the review within one week. Once they have confirmed their willingness to do the review they have to complete it within 6 weeks.
The following criteria are always considered for each submission in the peer-review process:
- ethical aspects
- originality of the work
- importance of the information
- clarity and comprehensibility of the text
- appropriateness of the methods
- interpretation of the results
- reasonability of the conclusions
