DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF REVIEWERS

Articles are selected for publication using the double blind selection system and published in the open access system.

All judgments and findings in the peer-review process should be objective. Reviewers should have no conflict of interest (they are required to make such a statement before proceeding to the review.). Reviewers - if there is a legitimate need - should point out relevant published work which is not yet cited, and articles reviewed by them should be treated confidentially prior to their publication.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF EDITORS

Editors are responsible for deciding which articles are accepted for publication. Editors act in a balanced, objective and fair way while carrying out their expected duties, without discrimination on the grounds of gender, sexual orientation, religious or political beliefs, and the ethnic or geographical origin of the authors.
