Editorial assessment

Peer review, from submission to publication.

A visible workflow separates technical checks, independent advice and accountable editorial decisions. The model used by each journal is stated on its profile.

  1. 01

    Submission

    A structured manuscript record, files and declarations enter the journal workspace.

  2. 02

    Technical checks

    The editorial office checks completeness, scope indicators, ethics and reporting information.

  3. 03

    Editorial assessment

    An editor evaluates fit, methodological adequacy and whether external review is warranted.

  4. 04

    External peer review

    Qualified independent specialists assess the work and disclose relevant conflicts.

  5. 05

    Editorial decision

    The editor weighs the manuscript, reports and journal priorities and issues a reasoned decision.

  6. 06

    Revision

    Authors respond point by point and provide a traceable revised version when invited.

  7. 07

    Final decision

    The responsible editor accepts, requests further work or rejects the manuscript.

  8. 08

    Production

    Accepted work moves through correction, proof, metadata, DOI preparation and final quality checks.

  9. 09

    Publication

    The version of record and any later notices remain connected in the public article record.

Review models

Peer review models.

Single-anonymized review

Reviewer identities are not disclosed to authors; author identities are available to reviewers.

Double-anonymized review

Reviewer and author identities are concealed from one another as far as the submitted record permits.

Open peer review

The journal defines which identities, reports or author responses become public and obtains the necessary agreement.

Decision integrity

Reports advise; editors decide.

  • Reviewers assess the work rather than the authors and write constructive, evidence-based comments.
  • Editors consider reviewer reports critically and do not count recommendations as votes.
  • Conflicts, confidentiality concerns and suspected misconduct are escalated before a decision is finalized.
  • Payments, membership, advertising and purchased services do not influence selection or acceptance.
