Peer Review Process

The Editors will acknowledge receipt of all contributions. Two Editors, two external peer reviewers and an Editorial Advisory Board member will review all contributions submitted as articles and short reports. As for any refereed journal, authors may be asked to make revisions to their manuscript. If substantial revision is required manuscripts may be re-reviewed before a decision to publish is made. Once a paper is accepted in its final form, page-proofs will be sent to the senior author for checking. Proof Approval and Author Agreement forms will be sent with the page-proofs and must be completed and returned before publication can proceed. Final acceptance of manuscripts for publication is at the discretion of the Editors. For paper submission instructions see below.
