Manuscript preparation & review

See our guidelines.

All scientific contributions will be subject to peer review.

Publication process

All contributions are reviewed initially by the editors. Within a reasonable timeframe, authors will be told whether their articles have been accepted or declined. If accepted the articles will be sent out for peer review, reviewers selected by the editorial board of the journal.

Once an article has been accepted, it will be subject to copyediting. Authors will have a chance to review their copyedited articles and to make additional changes. Once an article has been placed in layout, only minor corrections will be allowed.
