Neural Computing and Applications - Topical Collections - Peer Review Policy

The peer review process of any submission associated with a special issue/topical collection is handled by Guest Editors who are responsible for assigning at least two referees to each article and evaluating the reviews. Guest Editors make recommendations and request and evaluate revisions, but only the Editor-in-Chief can make final decisions of accept or reject on any special issue article.
Any articles submitted to a special issue by Guest Editors are also handled confidentially by Associate Editors outside of the normal refereeing process of the special issue to ensure that the evaluation of these articles is completely objective.
