Review process

We operate with a so called “double blind” peer review policy. There are two independent reviewers issuing their academic assessment on each submitted paper. Based on their opinion the Editorial Board will decide on acceptance or rejection of a paper for publication. Papers may also be returned to authors for correction.

I. Evaluation of an article.

II. Reviewers should issue their final decisions choosing from among the following options:
1) Accept the paper without revision.
2) Text acceptable for publishing without revision, but the level of its originality is low. 
Thus its publishing seems questionable.
3) Minor revision of the paper required (reviewer is to indicate what is to be corrected).
4) Major revision of the paper necessary - no guarantee that the author will ever succeed in improving the quality of the paper (reviewer is to indicate what should be corrected).
5) Reject the paper because it does not fit the standards of BPTh and there is no real chance for its improvement.
6) Acceptable for publishing in some other periodical.

III. The summary of the reviewer's evaluation (formal and substantive aspects of an article).
