Peer Review Process

Texts submitted to the Annales UMCS Sectio C Biology are reviewed in accordance with the guidelines
of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and the rules in scientific journals (review form).
The evaluation process takes place in three stages:

  1. All articles submitted are subject to the procedure of preliminary qualification by the Editorial Board. 
  2. After positive evaluation, articles are anonymously sent to independent reviewers, provided that the authors and reviewers do not know their identity ("double-blind review process"). Special attention is paid to the lack of close personal relationships between the authors and reviewers. Editors find it very important that the reviewer is not a person from the same place of work as the author of the text.
  3. Based on the evaluation, the editors decide to: reject the publication, accept it for publication, or refer it to the Author upon reviewers’ comments in order to introduce amendments.
