Peer Review Process

Each manuscripts meeting the requirements stated in Instruction for authors undergoes a double blind review procedure prior to the publication. The review is made anonymously by two reviewers constituting of members of the Editorial Board and Editors or by its appointed expert. The reviews are usually elaborated in one month after the issue’s deadline for accepting manuscripts.

The reviewers examine whether the submitted article contains all essential features according to instruction for authors, i.e. whether it is original work not published elsewhere, whether it contains all essential features of a complete scientific paper. Further criterions are the adequacy of the method, the logical consistency, the up-to datedness of the data, sources and references.

The Editor in Chief decides whether to accept, accept conditionally or reject a paper on the basis of the reviews. The Technical Editor communicates the final decision, and informs the authors about further processing.

The conditionally accepted manuscripts should be corrected by the author(s) taking into account the remarks or suggestions of the reviewer. It is not allowed to make more extensive alteration influencing the extent or content of the article. The electronic copy of the corrected paper has to be sent to the Editor office at nho@econ.muni.cz not later than two weeks after receiving the review.

The accepted articles are further processed to language editing. The author(s) should incorporate the language editing and send the finished article to the Editor office not later than two weeks after receiving it.
