Peer-review

Each submitted article is reviewed. The process is single-blind, meaning that the author does not know the identity of the reviewer, but the reviewer knows the identity of the author. The reviewers assess a submitted manuscript for its originality, reliability of results and scientific significance and thus help the Editorial Team make a decision to either reject the manuscript, offer a revision or accept it for publication.
