Peer Review Process

The review process is anonymous. Every manuscript is being sent to two independent reviewers. Additional reviewers will be engaged in case of the opposite recommendations made by the initial reviewers. Editor-in-Chief will make the final decision on the manuscript.

Each reviewer will receive first an abstract of the manuscript in question and has to accept or reject to perform a review within 72 hours. If he/she accepts it, the complete manuscript will be made available and the review is due 14 days afterwards.
