Plagiarism checking

Papers that pass the initial evaluation stage are subject to a similarity/plagiarism scanning by using a plagiarism screening program. Any paper with a similarity percentage (excluding references) greater than 25 % will be rejected. Manuscripts that pass the initial evaluation stage and have a similarity rate below 25 % proceed to the referee process. All submitted papers are subject to anti-plagiarism control in the iThenticate system.

Peer review

Each paper is subject to a double-blind peer review process by at least two independent referees specialised in the scientific field of individual paper.

Instructions for reviewers

The primary objective of the reviewer's evaluation is to provide sufficient and unambiguous answers to the following questions and also recommendations for possible changes and improvements to the paper:

  • does the title match the subject of the paper and does the subject of the paper correspond with the area of
    interest of the journal (according to "Aims and Scope"),
  • is the Abstract correct, i.e. short but presenting the main results of the researches and conclusions based on
    these results,
  • does the Introduction present the subject and the objective of the researches correctly,
  • are the implemented methods used properly and is the research material sufficient,
  • are the results described, analyzed, commented on and presented correctly, without repetitions of data in
    tables and diagrams,
  • is the discussion presented correctly, based on actual knowledge and with the use of properly chosen
    scientific literature (as recent as possible),
  • do the conclusions generalize the obtained results and provide recommendations, which are appropriately
    prepared on the basis of results and are not merely the repetition of those results,
  • does the paper introduce new and interesting information and does it have sufficient impact and add to the
    knowledge base.

    the literature and usage of units, etc.?

Reviewers' evaluation

Papers are sent to at least two reviewers assigned by the Editor-in-Chief or Managing Editor. The reviewers are chosen according to their expertise. Reviewers are asked to evaluate the manuscript’s originality, methodology, contribution to the literature, presentation of results and support for the conclusions, and appropriate referencing of previous relevant studies. Reviewers may either recommend accepting the manuscript, rejecting the manuscript or may require a revision for content and/or technical issues. When making a final recommendation, the reviewers should clearly state whether the paper is suitable for publication in journal. In the case of a positive answer, the reviewers indicate whether:

  • it might be accepted without changes,
  • it might be accepted after minor changes, suggested by the reviewer in the manuscript or in his/her
    opinion,
  • it might be accepted after major changes (please indicate them).

Reviewers may request more than one revision of a paper.
