Peer Review Process
Papers submitted by the authors will be evaluated in advance by the editors who will determine the relevance of their publication. Whether the submission meets all the formal requirements specified in the instructions for authors.
The originals will then be subjected to blind peer review (without any identification of authorship) and sent to two specialists for review. Based on the opinion of the reviewers, the editors will issue one of the following concepts: approved for publication; approved with corrections; rejected for publication. In case of discrepancy between the two results, the text will be sent to a third reviewer, whose decision will define its publication.
The time elapsed between the submission of the paper and the results of the referees is around eight weeks. If the article is approved, the time between submission and publication is around 16 weeks.
