Peer-review policy

Every one of our journals follows a peer-review procedure. First, the Editor evaluates each submission to determine its appropriateness for the relevant journal. If the submission is considered appropriate, it is then sent to at least two independent expert reviewers who evaluate its scientific quality.

Although the Editor has the final responsibility for accepting or rejecting articles, they do not participate in the decision-making process for papers that they have authored themselves, or those written by colleagues or employees of the university.

Some journals can use  double-blinded peer review, where the reviewers and authors are not aware of each other's identities during the review process. To enable this, authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are formatted in a way that doesn't disclose their identities to the reviewers, either directly or indirectly.

Other journals can use single-blinded peer review where the reviewers' identities are concealed from the author.
