All manuscripts submitted to this journal will be reviewed closed (double-blind peer review), which means that the identity of the author is kept secret from the reviewer, and vice versa. All manuscripts will initially be assessed by the Chief Editor regarding their suitability for the journal. Papers deemed suitable by the Editor are then normally sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. If needed, a third reviewer is required for critical recommendations for the article. Editors are responsible for the final decision regarding the acceptance or rejection of articles. Editor's decision is final.

The final decision on acceptance of the manuscript is solely made by the Editor-in-Chief and/or Responsible Editor (together with the Editorial Board, if necessary) according to critical comments from Reviewers (but not solely by Reviewers). Publication of accepted articles including assigning articles to published publications will be carried out by the Chief Editor taking into account the order of dates received and the geographical distribution of authors and thematic themes.
