Peer review and publication process
All submissions chosen by the editorial office for progression are subject to open peer review, generally involving Editorial Board members and external reviewers. In most cases, reviewers’ names are disclosed to authors in the interests of transparency. Reviews are normally completed within four weeks, though this may vary depending on availability.
Most manuscripts require revision before acceptance. Revised manuscripts must be uploaded to Manuscript Manager using the “resubmit” function, not as a new submission.
Proofs of accepted articles are sent as PDF files to the corresponding author. Authors must check proofs carefully and return corrections within the specified time.
