Publication Criteria

All articles accepted for publication will be evaluated in parallel by at least two members of the scientific committee, including one foreigner, being a double-blind review (reviewers do not know the author of the article, the author does not know the name of the reviewers).

Result of the evaluation may be:

  • acceptance with no changes
  • acceptance with minor changes
