Editorial
Peer Review & Ethics
Every submission is peer reviewed. At submission the author selects the review format — single-blind (the reviewer sees the author identity) or double-blind (mutual anonymity) — and the number of reviews, between one and three. At least one full peer review is mandatory for every submission, without exception. Reviewers are qualified experts matched from the partner institutes of the publish-Ing. reviewer network on the basis of domain expertise and availability. Reviewers assess each paper against the published review criteria and return one of four recommendations: accept without changes, accept with minor changes, revision required followed by a second review, or reject. Where a revision is required, the author receives the full review comments and resubmits for a second review. The editors monitor every review and take the final publication decision.
