EDITORIAL PROCEDURE

For all submissions, this Journal adheres to the standard Peer Review Policy, Process and Guidance (this opens in a new tab) as outlined by Springer under Editorial Policies (this opens in a new tab) in the Information for Journal Authors (this opens in a new tab) web page.

All submissions to Springer journals are first reviewed for completeness and only then sent to be assessed by an Editor who will decide whether they are suitable for peer review. Where an Editor is on the author list or has any other competing interest regarding a specific manuscript, another member of the Editorial Board will be assigned to oversee peer review. Editors will consider the peer-reviewed reports when making a decision, but they are not bound by the opinions or recommendations therein. A concern raised by a single peer reviewer or the Editor themself may result in the manuscript being rejected. Authors receive peer review reports with the editorial decision on their manuscript.

Before submitting, it is also recommended that you visit the following webpages to familiarize yourself with various aspects of the editor role: Springer Nature Code of Conduct (this opens in a new tab) and  Springer Nature publishing and editorial policies (this opens in a new tab). 

Thank you for your consideration to these questions.  We look forward to receiving your proposal.
