Rules for Reviewers
A double-blind peer review model is used, in which reviewers and authors do not know each other’s identities. Articles are submitted to reviewers in an anonymized form, without the authors’ personal data. However, if the content of the article itself allows the author to be identified (e.g., in the case of a very narrow, specialized topic), the reviewer must notify the Editor-in-Chief and sign a declaration of no conflict of interest or decline to prepare the review. Examples of situations in which a conflict of interest may arise between the reviewer and the author:
– direct personal or family relationships,
– professional authority/subordination,
– scientific rivalry,
– direct professional or scientific collaboration within the two years preceding the year the article was prepared.
