REVIEWING PROCESS
The reviewing process of the articles sent to be published in the Annals – Series on on History and Archaeology consists of two stages:
First stage: Editorial board members check the articles for compliance with the requirements specified in Guidelines for authors. Articles that do not meet those requirements are returned to authors to be revised.
Second stage: The editorial board forwards the paper to two scientific reviewers who assess the scientific value of the paper. The journal has 10 reviewers external to the editorial board.
Based on recommendations made by the reviewers Editorial board members may take the following decisions:
✓the paper will be published;
✓the paper will be published after minor revisions;
✓the paper will be published after major revisions;
✓the paper will not be published.
In every case the author[s] will be informed about the decision.
Most commonly papers that are accepted require several rounds of revision. Since the submission may require several rounds of review and most of this time is determined by how promptly the author responds, there is no meaningful average time between submission and publication or rejection. While most rejections occur within one week of submission, submissions may be rejected during the review cycle. After the editor accepts a paper, articles appear online as soon as the publisher completes final quality assurance of the accepted paper.
Duration of review process:
✔ Editor Screening: 1-3 weeks
✔ Reviewers Assignment: 1-4 weeks
✔ Review Process: 4-12 weeks – sometimes more
✔ Revisions: 2-8 weeks per round
