Peer Review

Every manuscript is checked for similarity and for fit with the scope before review. Manuscripts that pass are reviewed by at least two peer reviewers, who assess novelty, objectivity, method, scientific impact, conclusions, and references. The reviewers’ comments are sent to the corresponding author, and the suggested decision is evaluated in an editorial board meeting before the editor sends the final decision. See the Peer Review Process for details.
