1.   After making the preliminary examination, the articles are sent to at least two referees that are experts of the subject determined by the field editor. In the event of a positive report from both referees, the article will be published. The authors are then informed of the issue the article will be published. If both of the referees express negative views, the article will not be published. The articles receiving just one positive view are forwarded to a third referee for the final decision.

2.   If the referees ask for any corrections, as in “can be published after corrections”, the article will be returned to the author for necessary corrections. The author has to make corrections with a different color. After the corrections, it is checked whether the referee warnings are taken into consideration. The text will then be re-evaluated by the field editor.

3.    The evaluation period of the articles by the referees may take up to two months, at most.
