Peer Review Policy
FSD operates a single-blind review process. All contributions will be initially assessed by the Editor-in-Chief for suitability for the Journal. Papers which are suitable are sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. The average review process period is between 1–60 days.
An article can be rejected by reviewers due to poor language quality, lack of proper structure, lack of new scientific ideas, or lack of clear concepts or conclusions. The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection.
Publication Fees
