REVIEWING

One or more editors read each submitted manuscript. If the manuscript appears generally consistent with the journal requirements, it is sent to one or two reviewers – members of the editorial board and leading experts in corresponding areas of international relations.

All papers submitted to the Journal are subjected to the process of double-blind peer review: both reviewers’ and author(-s)’ names remain confidential to either side.

Reviewer has an option to abnegate the assessment should any conflict of interests arise that may affect perception or interpretation of the manuscript.

We aim to limit the review process to 1 month, though in some cases the schedule may be adjusted at the reviewer’s request.

If the reviewer has recommended any refinements, the editorial staff would suggest the author(-s) either to make revisions , or to dispute them reasonably. Authors are kindly required to limit their revision to 1 month and resubmit a revised version  within this period for final evaluation.

Upon the decision to accept the manuscript for publishing, the editorial staff notifies the author (-s) of the scheduled date of publication.

If the editorial board decided to reject a manuscript, it duly notifies the authors via e-mail. The board does not accept previously rejected manuscripts for re-evaluation.

Positive review does not guarantee the acceptance, as final decision in all cases lies with the editorial board.

Original reviews of submitted manuscripts remain deposited for 5 years.

The reviewer is expected to present the editorial board with one of the following recommendations: to accept the paper in its present state; to invite the author to revise their manuscript to address specific concerns before final decision is reached; that final decision be reached following further reviewing by another specialist; to reject the manuscript outright.

Reviews are not sent to the authors, the editorial board provides the authors with the key comments from the reviews.
