Firstly, all manuscripts are evaluated by the Editorial Board, which will take into account various criteria: article resulting from a funded research project, originality, topicality and novelty, relevance for fields covered by the journal, methodological quality, good presentation and writing, compliance with the rules relating to style, content and notes.

Then, the editorial board will send it over to two anonymous expert reviewers out of the Editorial Committee, according to blind review procedures. 

The article evaluation will be closely related to the topic relevance, its contribution to the general knowledge of the specific field, innovations, correction of established relations, critical theory developed, bibliographical sources, style, etc.; the evaluation will also include possible recommendation for the authors.

According to reviewers’ comments, the journal secretary will communicate the revision results by sending an email to the address given by the authors in their paper proposal.

The secretary will bein contact with the corresponding author by informing him/her about the reviewers’ decision (accepted as it is; accepted with minor changes; accepted with major changes; rejected), together will some observations and reviewers’ comments. If the manuscript is accepted with some modifications, the authors should resend a new version of their paper, answering the external reviewers’ suggestions and demands. Articles requiring major changes might be sent back to the Editorial Committee and/or the Scientific Committee in order to verify the validity of the author’s changes.

Once the required changes are evaluated, the Scientific Committee will proceed to thepublication or rejection of the article. The final decision will be made by EditorialCommittee members, and the author will be accordingly notified by the editor-in-chiefor by the editor assistants
