For Reviewers

Studies are reviewed in an anonymous review process by at least two reviewers. If the reviews differ significantly, the editors appoint a third reviewer. The reviewers are decided by the Executive Editor of the journal or members of the Editorial Board in accordance with the Journal's Statute and the Journal Ethical Standards. Based on the results of the review process, the editorial board decides on the publication/non-publication of the article under review.

The reviewer is obliged to familiarize himself/herself with the Journal Ethical Standards, the form of the review and the manner of its preparation. The submitted manuscript must meet the formal requirements as outlined in the Guidelines for Authors (posted on the journal's website or sent upon request).

Authors of manuscripts and reviewers of articles remain anonymous to each other.

The author will be informed about the inclusion of the manuscript in the review process and will receive the result of the review process, usually within 1 month from the date of receipt of the manuscript. The author will receive the reviewers' comments and decision from the editors, while maintaining the anonymity of the reviewers. The editors of the journal require the author to incorporate the comments resulting from the review process. If the reviewer requests reconsideration of the incorporated comments, the submitted manuscript will be returned to the reviewer.

Articles are subject to linguistic editing. However, poor grammar and lack of necessary editing may be grounds for rejecting a manuscript, even if the content is in line with the journal's focus.
