All papers submitted to a regular issue or to a special issue are handled under an independent
peer review process. Special issues articles have the same editorial oversight as regular papers, including external peer review, and are clearly labeled. The Editor-in Chief is responsible for the content of the entire journal, including all special issues, which must fall within the scope of the journal.
Upon submission, all authors will receive an acknowledgement of
receipt.
Following a brief editorial review to determinate the manuscript’s
appropriateness for BEMAN, each manuscript will be blind reviewed by
two independent, external reviewers. The review process will take
approximately 2 months. The reviewers will evaluate the submitted papers
against the following checkpoints:
§ Relevance to BEMAN
§ Originality
§ Significance, usefulness
§ Reference to the related literature
§ Presentation
§ Linguistic quality.
At the end of the review process authors will be notified on the
status of their manuscripts – accept, revise and submit, or reject – and
will receive feedback from the reviewers. If the reviewers ask for revision
of the article then the authors should make the revision and the article
will be published after the reviewers' acceptance.
