Guidelines
Publication
ethics and malpractice
It is necessary to agree upon standards of expected ethical
behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author,
the journal editor, the peer reviewer and the publisher. Our ethic statements are based on COPE’s Best
Practice.
Review process
Each
paper is reviewed by the editor and, if it is judged suitable for this
publication, it is then sent to at least two independent referees for
peer review. Based on their recommendation, as well as consultation
between relevant Editorial Board members the editor then decides
whether the paper should be accepted as is, revised or rejected.

Volume 1, Number 1, 2012
