• EVALUATION OF THE ARTICLES. Articles will be first evaluated by the journal’s Editors-in-Chiefs and, if considered of interest for the journal, they are subsequently sent to external specialists to be evaluated according to the double-blind peer review method. Should an article receive positive feedback from external experts too, it will be accepted for publication. Should feedback be positive but revisions or integrations suggested, these will be communicated to the author. In this case, the article will only be published if the author will revise it based on the received comments. Authors are further expected to conform to the editorial guidelines below. Articles that do not conform to them will be sent back to the authors. The journal reserves the right to not publish articles that consistently fail to conform to editorial rules.
