Peer Review Process

The authors' papers will be evaluated in advance by the editors who will determine their publication's relevance 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 reviewers' opinion, 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 referees' results is around eight weeks. If the article is approved, the time between submission and publication is approximately 16 weeks.

The editor will notify the authors by email of the acceptance (or refusal) of their submissions. Publishers do not assume responsibility for opinions/concepts expressed in signed articles and transcribed material.

Approved texts may be modified according to grammatical and spelling corrections, preserving the style of the author(s).
