Review of the research papers

Reviewers for research papers will be sought from the pool of experts in the field and outside of the authors organisation. Reviewers need to conduct a peer review and evaluate the manuscripts according to the journal instructions. The instruction form will be sent to the reviewers by the editors-in-chief. Reviewers are asked to evaluate a manuscript for its originality, validity, significance, acceptability of methodological procedures and overall structure of manuscript.

The reviewers are asked to give one of the following recommendations:

• to suggest that the manuscript is accepted for publication as such.

• to suggest that the manuscript is accepted for publication after minor revision (comments included).

• to suggest that the manuscript is accepted for publication after major revision (comments included).

• to suggest that the manuscript should be rejected for reasons they set out.

The editorial board and the editor-in-chief make the final decision based on the reviewer statements and gives feedback and instructions to the author.

The peer-review process is based on voluntary expert participation, no fees for the reviewers are paid.
