All the materials received for publication from national and international authors are submitted to the peer-review procedure, which includes the following steps:
- The authors send their manuscripts to the journal’s official address or to the institutional address of the editor-in-chief or of the lead editor associate. Within a maximum of five days, the editorial board of the journal verifies if the manuscript complies with the norms, the instructions for authors and the features of the journal. If the material does not conform to the general rules of the journal, the authors will be advised to review his paper and to send it back in conformity to the journal’s rules. Otherwise, the paper will not be taken into account for publication.
- Depending on the manuscript’s subject, at the request of the editor-in-chief and lead-editor associate, the subeditor will send the material to be reviewed (without revealing the author’s name) by two members of the scientific committee, who within a maximum of five days will confirm their intention to realize the review. If the reviewers decline their competence regarding the subject of the manuscript, the editor-in-chief and the lead editor associate will send the material (keeping its anonymity) to other two specialized reviewers. After the submission of the manuscript, within 30 days, the reviewers will fill a peer-review report (model), establishing the score given to the manuscript and inserting any comments regarding each of the five evaluation criteria. Then, they will send to the editor-in-chief the result of the evaluation. In order for a paper to be published, the reviewers should grade the manuscript with at least 12 points.
- The editor-in-chief and the lead editor associate analyse the reports and the subeditor communicates the results of the report to the authors. In addition, the comments and remarks of the anonymous specialized reviewers will be transmitted to the authors. The authors will inform the editor whether they wish to take into account the remarks and to submit the final improved version of their manuscript for publication.
- It is the editorial board’s right to decide in which order the studies are published in the journal. This depends on the theme of the issue and the fields of expertise of the authors.
