Peer Review
- After your paper has passed the initial check-up stage, it has to undergo a double-blind review.
- The Editor-in-Chief estimates the manuscript's relevance, compliance with the scientific profile of the journal.
- Two Reviewers are appointed by the Editor-in-Chief from the members of the Editorial Board or acknowledged academic specialists in the related area with at least three years of publishing experience.
- Reviewers can refuse if they declare a conflict of interests or if they believe they cannot provide an unbiased review for some reason.
- A double-blind review procedure means that no information about the Author is available to the Reviewers, and vice versa.
- We will normally send you anonymous reviews of your paper within 21-60 days.
- Reviewers follow The Rules of Publication Ethics established by the Editorial Board and the policy of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
- Reviews are written in free form; however, they clarify the following compulsory aspects:
- Is the topic relevant?
- Does the paper possess any theoretical and practical significance?
- Is the author’s approach novel?
- Is the style scientific and clear?
- Reviewers can also use the review form supplied by the Editor.
- The review ends with one of the following recommendations:

- publish the paper only after the manuscript has been improved according to the recommendations of the reviewers;
