The procedure of reviewing
- Each publication is evaluated by editor-in-chief and if the basic requirements are fulfilled the text is sent to review.
- Each publication is evaluated by at least two independent Reviewers.
- At least one of the Reviewers is affiliated in a foreign institution, which is different than the Author’s nationality.
- The double-blind review process is applied, where neither the Authors nor the Reviewers know each other’s identities.
- The review is a written document, which ends with a definite conclusion whether the article should be published or rejected.
- The following evaluation criteria and procedures are applied:
- A – very good article – accept
The article is accepted for printing without sending back to the Author. The Author receives a message about the positive review. - B – good article – accept when the Reviewer’s comments have been fulfilled
The article is sent back to the author to make changes suggested by the Reviewer. Then the Author resends a corrected copy of the article with the opinion about the remarks in the review to the editors. The Editor-in-Chief makes a decision whether the article should be accepted for printing - C – acceptable after general reconstruction
