If one is positive and the other is negative, the article is sent to a third referee.
4) Manuscripts that are decided to be corrected for publication must be submitted by their authors within 20 days at the latest. The revised text can be reviewed by the referees who request changes, if deemed necessary.
5) Submitted articles are published with the final decision of the Editorial Board, after the approval of two field experts "can be published". Authors must take into account the criticism, evaluation and corrections of the referee and the Editorial Board. In case of disagreement, the author has the right to report on a separate page with justifications.
6) Articles sent to the journal are not returned to the author, whether published or not.
