Peer Review Process

Articles initially accepted for publication are then peer-reviewed by two independent reviewers.

In selecting reviewers, the editorial board makes sure that there is no conflict of interests between them and the author. 

For an article to be accepted for publication, it must receive two positive reviews.

If the reviewers’ opinions diverge as to whether the article should be published, then the third reviewer is requested to assess it.

Reviews are prepared based on special review forms (Double-Blind Peer-Reference Form)

After receiving the review, the author is required to give his or her opinion about the reviewers’ remarks and introduce changes they have suggested. If the author does not agree with some of the suggestions made by the reviewers, the editorial board has the final say regarding the publication of the text.

After receiving positive reviews, the editorial board decides to publish the article in a specific issue.
