Peer Review Process

The following criteria are always considered for each submission in the peer-review process:

  • ethical aspects;
  • originality of the work;
  • importance of the information;
  • clarity and comprehensibility of the text;
  • appropriateness of the methods;
  • interpretation of the results;
  • reasonability of the conclusions.

The typical period of time allowed for reviews – 4 weeks.
