» Peer Review Process
For quality assurance, the contributions to the journal are subjected to a double-blind peer-review process, i.e., the anonymized contributions are submitted to two "peers" - i.e., colleagues with relevant knowledge. The respective authors do not know who is doing the peer review. In most cases, there is a list of questions to ensure quality. At the end of the review, the peer reviewers make a recommendation to publish the article, possibly accompanied by revision requirements, or even a recommendation not to publish the article.
