Peer-review process

Through the peer review process, reviewers assist the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board in making decisions about submitted papers. The Scientific Committee plays a role in ensuring the scientific and international character of the journal. The Editorial Board assigns reviewers and manages the entire review process and any desk rejections. It knows the identity of authors and reviewers. For this reason, no member of the Editorial Board serves as a reviewer. The Editorial Board also checks that there are no conflicts of interest, such as relatives up to the third degree, with the authors of papers submitted to the journal. The selection of papers is carried out in two stages. The first stage is the evaluation of the abstracts. At this stage, the editors make use of the possibility of engaging reviewers for double-blind peer review. The practice of peer review helps the editors to make editorial decisions and, through editorial communication with the author, may also help the author to improve his/her abstract.

In the second stage, the articles are re-evaluated by double-blind peer review. Reviewers are expected to make suggestions to authors on how to improve their contributions. The reviewers give their opinion on the quality of the paper by filling in the appropriate evaluation grid. The result of the selection will be communicated to the authors by the Editorial Board via e-mail.
