Review process

This journal uses a double-anonymised model of peer review. Neither author nor reviewers know the identity of each other. 

Submitted articles may be desk rejected by the editor without peer review if they do not satisfy the conditions outlined in the instructions for contributors. Articles that are not desk rejected will be sent for review in a double-anonymous peer review process. The editorial team aims for at least three reviews for each article.

Book reviews are solicited and reviewed by the book review editor and not subject to the standard peer review process.

To contribute to the quality of peer review in the journal, authors of submitted manuscripts are expected to review future manuscripts.

Appeals

To appeal an editorial decision, contact the Editor and specify the reason for your appeal. Your appeal will be reviewed by the Editor together with another member of the editorial team who was not involved in the review of the manuscript. The final decision regarding your appeal will rest with the Editor.
