Impartial reviewers carefully evaluate the quality of the manuscript.

The reviewers study the manuscript in the context of the relevancy of the research methodology and procedures. In addition, they are able to detect unethical actions or plagiarism.

In the process of reviewing, reviewers evaluate the quality of paper based on:

• compliance with the structural requirements of a scientific article;
• compliance with editorial conventions: titles, summaries and references must be clear, informative, accurate, complete, and the authors must be identified according to institutional affiliation and address;
