REVIEW PROCEDURE
Each manuscript is evaluated by at least two independent Reviewers who are not affiliated with the same scientific unit as the Author(s).
Reviewers are selected by the Editorial Board according to their expertise and the subject area of the submitted manuscript.
The journal applies a double-blind review process - Authors and Reviewers do not know each other's identities.
Each review contains a clear recommendation regarding acceptance, revision, or rejection of the manuscript.
The condition for qualifying the manuscript for further editorial processing is obtaining positive reviews; however, the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection is made by the Editor-in-Chief.
If the manuscript requires significant revisions, the revised version may be sent for re-review to the same Reviewer or, if necessary, to another independent Reviewer.
In the case of one positive and one negative review, an additional independent Reviewer is appointed.
Two negative reviews generally result in rejection of the manuscript.
Authors are informed of the review results and receive anonymized reviewers’ comments.
Authors are required to address the reviewers’ comments and submit a revised version within the timeframe specified by the Editorial Office.
The identities of individual Reviewers are not disclosed.
A list of Reviewers who cooperated with the journal is published at once a year on the journal’s website and in the printed issue.
