Peer-review Procedure

Articles sent to the editors and editorial board of Folia Orientalia are first subjected to an internal review by the editors and the scientific secretary. After the first qualification, the texts are sent to external reviewers (double-blind review). Each article is peer-reviewed by at least two experts in the field. Articles are submitted for review anonymously. The identity of the author is not revealed to the reviewers, and vice versa. The review must contain a clear conclusion as to whether the article should be accepted for publication.. In the case of mutually exclusive reviews, additional reviewers will be appointed. For further details on the responsibilities of reviewers and authors, see Publication Ethics Policy.

Articles that have received the approval of both reviewers are qualified for publication. As a result of the review process, authors may be expected to modify their articles according to the recommendations of the reviewers. The editors and editorial board reserves the right to publish, reject or return an article for revision.

In the case of an ambivalent peer review, the text will be submitted for further evaluation.

Articles that receive two negative reviews will not be accepted for publication. Authors of negative reviews will be notified as soon as the reviews are received by the editors.
