The works sent to MUJOT are first examined according to the journal’s writing rules, the second phase is the review by the editor regarding the compliance with the journal’s aim and scope. Next comes the blind review process by two referees. If one referee opinion is positive and the other is negative, the work can be sent to a third referee or the editorial board, expert board member or the editor can make the final decision by evaluating the reports. Referee evaluation reports are stored for a five years period. Author(s) shall take referee, editorial board, expert board member or the editor’s opinions, advices and evaluations into consideration. Authors(s) are expected to comply with the appointed changes studiously. If there arises a disagreement about the imposed changes, the author(s) have the right to object with reasons, -the final say belongs to the editor/editorial board in such matters- or to withdraw their works. The announcement of evaluation results does not exceed three months. The works are to be published only after the changes/comments of the referee and/or the editor are implemented by the author(s).
