Editorial process

The editor makes the decision to publish an article based on the conclusions of reviewers. The editor ensures that articles are reviewed anonymously and objectively, and that the decision to publish an article is made solely on the basis of the article’s content. The editor must ensure the confidentiality of the peer-review process.

Principles and requirements
