Editorial Protocol
- The Editor-in-Chief sends the manuscript it to the Section Editor (most likely one of the Associate Editors)
- The Section Editor finds at least 3 independent reviewers. Most likely again, one of them is a member of the Editorial Board
- Upon the receipt of reviewer comments in the system, the Section Editor can either make a recommendation to the Editor-in-Chief, or initiate a discussion among the reviewers and editors.
- After a mutually agreed decision has been reached, the authors are notified by the Editor-in-Chief or the Section Editor.
Decision Categories
- Accepted: Can be published as it is for the time being with minor typos or artifacts.
- Accept with minor revision: The manuscript will have to be slightly revised following the reviewers' comments. The Action Editor and/or the Editor in Chief ensure implementation of modifications.
- Revise and resubmit: It is agreed that the topic is worth publishing, but the paper requires major revisions before it can actually be published.
- Rejected: The paper is out of scope, or does not contain any substantial contribution, or may be simply too difficult to understand. It needs resubmission with substantial improvisation.
