» Peer Review Process
The contributions undergo a multi-stage review process: The submissions are first checked by the editorial team for formal criteria. If the result is positive, an anonymous peer review process by external experts follows. Therefore, please avoid conspicuous self-citations, project names and comments that suggest authorship. As a rule, the review process is completed within a period of up to six months; a longer review period is reserved in individual cases. The authors will be informed about the decision of acceptance or about revision requests derived from the review process as well as about the expected date of publication after the review process has been completed.
