Peer review
Peer review process The double-blind review procedure ensures that all articles published in the Contemporary Military Challenges abide by international standards and the rules of good writing. First step of the article quality is made by the editor. The editor checks whether the author has consistently followed the writing instructions and to what extent the content of the contribution falls within the scope of the journal's intended content. The editor suggests improvements, corrections to the authors and points out possible ethical, stylistic or other shortcomings that are against the editorial policy. After his/her approval of the article two reviewers are assigned to perform a peer review. In case of positive reviews, article goes into a process of technical editing. In case of one negative review or when opinions of reviewers are differing strikingly, a third reviewer is assigned. When minor/major corrections are needed, author is advised to correct and resubmit the article (in case of major corrections, the article goes into the peer review process once again). The review procedure is anonymous. A standard form is available on the web page. A reviewer receives an article without the indication of the author and vice versa. Editorial Advisory Board is consulted when opinions are different, especially regarding the classification of articles. The articles are processed by Similarity Check to avoid plagiarism. The final decision on the article quality is discoursed and decided by the editorial board. |
