From the very inception of its internationalization, REFLECTIONS has promoted an agile review procedure ruling out the unacceptable practice imposed, where researchers spend months/years waiting for their submission feedback.
Reviewers are instructed not to estimate the potential impact of a paper in a given field. These subjective judgments can delay the publication of a work, which later proves to be of major significance. Moreover, the publication readership is in the most suitable position to determine what is of interest to them
Review Process
1. After submission, the manuscript is screened for basic technical requirements.
2. The corresponding author receives a confirmation e-mail, informing them whether the manuscript is properly structured or not, and presents the obligations to the corresponding author.
3. Even though the authors are responsible for potential plagiarized content, the editorial office, by using freely available online checkers, scans the content for plagiarism.
3. Even though the authors are responsible for potential plagiarized content, the editorial office, by using freely available online checkers, scans the content for plagiarism.
4. The editorial office reserves the right to return to authors, without peer-review, improperly formatted manuscripts or non-authorized submissions.
5. The journal identifies potential academic editors for the submission process.
6. The academic editor assigned, is asked to evaluate the manuscript only based on objective criteria, such as scientific validity and the technical soundness of the content. Subtle determinations (interest, novelty, or impact) are not acceptable in the EJES review process.
7. The academic editor`s identity is anonymous, except for those who are willing to disclose their identity under the "open review" process.
8. The academic editor decides whether reviews from additional experts are needed. Reviewers assigned receive a recommendation of completing the assignment in 5 days. Agility, as one of the journal`s landmarks has been prioritized throughout the years. However, it does not influence the quality of the review procedure.
9. Every single paper submitted to the journal undergoes a review procedure.
10. After the review process, the Chief Editor makes a final decision. The time of the review depends on many circumstances.
Plagiarism is not acceptable in the submissions and publications. With the submission, authors declare the originality of their work by properly citing, re-using, or copying previous publications. If plagiarism is detected during the peer review process, the manuscript would be rejected. If plagiarism is detected after publication, the publisher has the right to issue a correction or retract of the paper.
The editorial office is participating in a growing community of Cross Check System's users in order to ensure that the content published is original and trustworthy. Cross Check is a medium that allows for comprehensive manuscripts screening, aimed to eliminate plagiarism and provide a high standard and quality peer-review process. Detailed description of the Cross Check System can be found at: http://www.crossref.org/crosscheck/index.html
