Peer-Review process

The rules for reviewing articles in the scientific journal "JoFA" are in accordance with good practice in review procedures in science, published by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

All articles are pre-reviewed by professors who are members of the Editorial Board.

Reviewers from outside the unit where the author is affiliated are appointed to prepare the reviews.

Reviewing is done on a 'double-blind review' basis: full mutual anonymity is maintained between the Author(s) of the text and the Reviewers.

The names of Reviewers of individual articles or issues are not disclosed, and a list of Reviewers who have collaborated with the Editorial Board in that year is published in the second issue on the journal's website.

The review shall be in writing on prepared forms with information on the deadline for delivery of the review to the Editor and shall contain the Reviewer's unequivocal conclusion on whether to accept the article for publication or to reject it, with justification and suggestions for possible corrections.

The author receives the review for review and is assured anonymous contact with the Reviewer through the Editor. In contentious situations, an additional Reviewer is appointed.

The review process can take up to four months.
