Editors have sole responsibility for acceptance or rejection of a manuscript. Manuscripts should have peer review, but the editors may reject or accept for cause (inappropriate for journal, clearly of poor quality, contents previously published elsewhere, etc.).

The choice of reviewers lies within the competence of the members of the journal's advisory board. Every submitted article is evaluated by at least two members of the journal's advisory board or external experts with relevant experience and expertise. 

On receiving the reviews the advisory board may decide that additional reviewing is necessary for an appropriate evaluation of the submitted article. When the required number of reviews is received, the editors consider the experts’ opinions and make a decision to accept, reject, or request a substantial revision. 

The reviewing may take up to six months. The editors’ response with their decision, full texts of the reviews, and a list of any changes needed for the article to be accepted for publication is then sent to the author.

If the decision is for substantial revision, the author must respond to the comments made by the reviewers and/or Editor, and resubmit as soon as he can. Usually the revised manuscript will be re-evaluated by the original reviewers.

The reviewers’ identity is concealed from the author.
