PEER REVIEW
Double-blind peer review
Each manuscript that passes the initial editorial assessment is reviewed by at least two independent experts.
Reviewers do not know the identity of the authors, and authors do not know the identity of the reviewers.
Under normal circumstances the review process takes up to four weeks. In technically demanding cases it may take up to three months.
The final decision on acceptance or rejection is made by the Editor-in-Chief.
