Upon submission, articles enter the pre-selection process. At that stage, the general quality of the manuscript and its compliance with the scope and author instructions are evaluated by the Managing Editor and the Editors-in-Chief. Non-compliance is a cause for rejection. The articles pre-selected are then assigned to an Associate Editor and at least two external reviewers, in a single anonymous process.
Following peer review, the Associate Editor submits their decision to the Managing Editor, who communicates a final decision to the authors.
When revisions are requested, the authors are asked to answer point by point each reviewer comment. The revised manuscript returns to the same Associate Editor and is eventually evaluated again by the same or by alternative reviewers.
Upon acceptance of the manuscript, the journal requests that the authors provide a short post on their article, that will be published in the journal blog . The purpose of this post is to convert the main research information into easily accessible language in order to be understandable by the largest possible audience. This post must be accompanied by a relevant photograph in landscape format.
