Review policy
The journal operates a two-level review process. Members of the Editorial Board, after assessing the submissions, may refuse them or suggest some modifications. When accepted by the Board, a double-blind review process is implemented, that is, authors do not know the reviewers and vice versa.
- for interviews, practice reflections, and literature reviews, first-level (editorial) review is often considered sufficient, but editors may choose to ask one independent reviewer for their opinion
- for empirical studies and theoretical papers, a minimum of one, but preferably two reviewers are asked to assess scientific quality.
