Peer Review Process

Preliminary decisions on the rejection or acceptance of the works submitted for reviewing are taken by the Editorial Board of Libri Gedanenses. The basic evaluation criteria include the consistence of the topic with the journal’s profile, the text’s scientific value, its logical organization and linguistic form. The accepted materials are edited in agreement with the authors.

The papers undergo a double blind review process. Each of them is reviewed by two reviewers selected in a manner excluding a conflict of interests with the author. Reviewers recommend that the reviewed papers be accepted, suggesting the introduction of corrections, or that they be rejected. Reviews are made in writing and are completed with a clear evaluation of a given work under review. It is on their basis that the final decisions are taken by the Editorial Board.

Non-scientific texts – such as reviews, polemics, obituaries and reports – are in principle not reviewed, although they may be referred for a review.

A full list of reviewers is given in the appropriate volume of the journal.
