Initial assessment and acceptance of a submitted article is carried out by the journal editorial board. Each article is then sent for further evaluation to at least two independent reviewers.
The review is double-blind (the identities of the author(s) and the reviewers are not known to each other and to autor).
If a double-blind review is not possible then the reviewer must sign a declaration of no conflict of interest, a conflict of interest may arise when there is, between the reviewer and the author, a direct personal relationship (blood relationship, legal relationship, conflict), a hierarchical professional relationship, direct scientific cooperation within the two years preceding the review.
Texts written in languages other than Polish are reviewed by at least one reviewer affiliated to an institution from a different country than the Author.
The review must be in written form and end with an unequivocal judgement as to the acceptance or rejection of the article for publication.
If the reviews do not require of the author to introduce substantive and editorial corrections, the Editorial Board sends the article to the Publishing Editor.
When an article is deemed to require changes, the author will have an opportunity to improve it according to the reviewers’ suggestions.
In case of disagreement with the reviewers, the author should submit a written reply to the reviewers’ comments.
Only articles which have received two positive reviews are published.
If one of the reviewers approve the paper for publication while the other did not, the final decision to qualify or reject the article belongs to the editor-in-chief.
After the final publication decision has been made, the Editorial Board notifies the authors of the papers of the acceptance or rejection of the article.
The criteria by which an article is accepted or rejected and the review form are accessible by the public on the publisher’s website and in each volume of the journal.
The names of reviewers for any particular volume are not made available; once a year the journal makes a publically accessible list available of all reviewers. Review Form to download
