Peer review process

Only new scientific results are published in this journal. The submission of the paper implies that it presents original research, the manuscript has not been published, and is not currently under consideration by another journal.  The author also guarantees that all individuals who have made a significant contribution to the manuscript are included in the list of authors.

Each contribution is first assessed by the editors for suitability for the journal. Papers deemed suitable are sent to two independent experts. Typical review time is 21 day.

A double blind review process is accepted. Authors generally may suggest referees for their manuscript. The editors, however, are not constrained to these persons. The review process is strictly anonymous. Referee reports are advisory to the editors.

Any resubmittal should be accompanied by a summary of the changes made and a clear concise response to all criticisms and recommendations.

The editors are responsible for the final decision (accept, minor revision, major revision, reject). This decision is made based on recommendations by the referees. In the case of rejection the authors may appeal to the Editor-in-chief.

Publishing agreement. Upon acceptance, the corresponding author will be asked to sign the publication agreement on behalf of all authors. Text of the agreement will be send together with the proof.
