Peer Review
When a manuscript is submitted, the editors check whether it meets the minimum standards of the journal. Then a manuscript that fulfils the minimum requirements is sent to two anonymous peer-reviewers (EJBE follows a double-blind review process) as assigned by the Editorial Board. Based on the recommendations and comments of the reviewers a manuscript recommended as publishable by both referees is returned to the author(s) including the review reports to be resubmitted with comments incorporated. A rejected manuscript is sent back to the author(s) with the review reports for further improvement, but not to be resubmitted. After the author(s), whose manuscript is accepted, resubmits his/her work with comments incorporated, the manuscript is sent to a language editor, with the final decision made by the editors. Finally, it is scheduled for publication in one of the issues of the Journal. The review process takes 4-6 months.
