- All articles submitted to the Slovo.ru: Baltic accent journal are subject to peer-review.
- The managing editor considers whether an article conforms to the Journal’s standards and submits it to a reviewer – a specialist in the field or a holder of a relevant doctoral or postdoctoral degree.
- The managing editor can change the review period to ensure prompt publication.
- A review should cover:
- the suitability of the topic for the journal’s readers;
- originality of the article;
- the accuracy and relevance of information;
- the author’s familiarity with the current state of knowledge;
- the author’s style and manner;
- the logical structure of the article;
- The review procedure is double blind. Authors can access reviews. Confidentiality is broken only if a reviewer reports inaccurate information or falsifications.
- If a review suggests corrections and revisions, it is sent to the author with a proposal to either consider them in a revised article or prove their superfluity. A revised article is resubmitted.
- An article that is considered unsuitable for publications cannot be resubmitted. Negative reviews are sent to authors via e-mail, fax, or post.
- A positive review is not sufficient for publication. The final decision is made by the series’ editorial board.
- After an article is approved for publication, the author is informed about the expected publication date.
- Reviews are sent to authors via e-mail, fax, or post.
- Reviews are kept at the editorial office for five years.
