F. ASSESSMENT

1. The papers that pass the initial editorial evaluation will be sent to two referees of expertise for academic assessment by the Publication Board of the Journal. The paper is accepted for publication if both referees are positive. If one referee report is positive while the other one is negative, the paper is sent to a third referee. The papers that are decided to be reviewed must be submitted by the author(s) within stated days (including the duration of the postal service).  The revised text might be re-examined by the demanding referees in case the Publication Board finds it necessary.
2. The papers submitted are published upon the final decision of the Publication Board following the “can be submitted” approval of the two experts in the field. Authors should take the criticisms, assessments and revisions of the referees and the Publication Board into account. If the author has any points he/she does not agree with, he/she has the right to specify these issues in a separate page within the justification thereof.
3. The papers, following the approval by the referees, may be put in order by the Publication Board, based on principles followed by the editors and also based on the scope of the journal.
