Author Guidelines

Only original unpublished texts that have not been submitted to another journal or publication will be considered for publication in our journal. All submitted works undergo a two-phase review procedure, during which the author and the reviewer remain completely anonymous.

There are no article processing charges (APC) for authors or for article submissions. The journal does not pay any fees or royalties to the author(s) for the published work.

Manuscript submissions are first evaluated by the Editor-in-Chief (in case of any doubt, the Editor-in-Chief will consult the Editorial Board). If a manuscript is deemed suitable for publication, it will be sent to two different reviewers selected by the Editor-in-Chief from a list approved by the Editorial Board as part of a double-blind review process. Following advice from the reviewers, the Editor-in-Chief (with the consent of the Editorial Board) will determine whether the piece (a) is suitable to be published with minor or no changes; (b) needs to be revised and resubmitted; (c) is to be rejected; (d) is to be sent to a third reviewer. The final decision is presented and approved by the Editorial Board.
