Peer Review Process
The Journal accepts previously unpublished papers only.
Each paper submitted (excluding book reviews and reports) is sent to two reviewers for review. Anonymity is maintained between the authors and the reviewers (double-blind peer review). On the basis of the result of the review process, the pertinent editorial board accepts the text, returns it for correcting or reworking or rejects it.
For the review of paper the editor-in-chief selects reviewers who specialize in the subject the paper addresses. He also ensures that the author and reviewers have no close employment, institutional or personal connections.
The author of the text is informed of the decision of the editorial board in written form as soon as possible of receiving the manuscript.
After the Journal is published, the author receives one offprint.
