About the peer-review system

Since 2013, MARTOR Journal is only publishing articles that have been evaluated with the double-blind-peer-review system (see list of reviewers from 2013 to the present). The scientific articles received are being send to two peer-reviewers for evaluation (15th of November – 31st of March). The reviewers will be selected in order not to have the same institutional affiliation as the authors.
The reviewers are sending feed-back concerning: a detailed evaluation (originality and importance of the subject of the article, choice of methodology, efficacy of argumentation, relevance of conclusions, quality of written expression, coherence of the text); recommendations for improvement of the article; recommendation for publication (as it is, with minor revisions, with major revisions or not publishable).
Taking into account the suggestions and the comments that the peer-reviewers have made for each article, the authors are to send the final version of their text by 31st of May.
