Peer review process

All manuscripts are peer-reviewed according to the following process:

1. Review of conformity with the editorial line of the journal by the editor-in-chief: the objective is to verify the adequacy of the subject, content and form of the article with the objectives and scope of the journal. It is reviewed positively or negatively within a week of receipt.

2. Single-blind peer review: the identity of the authors is known but not the identity of the reviewers. At least two experts identified within the editorial board or solicited externally review each manuscript. In order to guarantee short publication deadlines, the experts must submit their report within one month of receiving the manuscript.

3. Feedback to the authors: the results of the evaluations are discussed within the editorial board. They take the decision to accept the publication of the manuscript with various reservations (without modifications, with minor modifications, with major modifications), or to reject it. The editor-in-chief communicates the final decision to the authors along with the expert reports. If a revision is needed, the author must resubmit the revised version within one to three months for a new review.

The period of the peer-review process is conditioned by the rhythm of the editorial committees, approximately four per year, or one per quarter. On average, it takes between three and six months to publish a manuscript from the date of its receipt.
