Peer-review process

Once the paper has been assessed for suitability by the managing editor, it will then be double-blind peer-reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees in your field. Its purpose is to evaluate the manuscript's quality and suitability for publication. According to the experts' opinions, the texts are published, published after correction, or not published. As well as being a form of quality control for academic journals, peer review is also a very useful source of feedback, helping you improve your paper before it is published. At its best, review is a collaborative process where authors engage in a dialogue with their peers and receive constructive support to advance their work.
