Articles
Thank you for your interest in submitting for possible publication in our journal. Due to the fact that we receive about three to four times the number of articles that we can publish, we are forced to select only articles that generate new knowledge with a considerable impact. We thus follow a two-phased peer review process:
Phase 1: Authors are asked to give an indication of the new knowledge that they think is generated by their article and the possible impact that this knowledge will have. Based on this information the Editorial Board decides if the article will move to Phase 2 or not.
Phase 2: The article is evaluated by peers. (You may suggest the names of three to four possible reviewers. The editorial board may contact one or more of them, or other reviewers on the databasis.)
Book Reviews
Book reviews must be completed according to specific guidelines.
