Peer Review Process

The journal employs a double-blind review process prior to publication, ensuring the anonymity of both authors and reviewers throughout the evaluation phase. The objective is to render an initial decision within three months of manuscript submission. However, the duration of the review process may extend beyond this approximate timeframe, contingent upon the availability of suitable reviewers or unforeseen circumstances. Reviewers are encouraged to furnish constructive criticism, even in cases where the article is deemed unsuitable for publication.

Stages of the Peer Review Process

• Authors are mandated to submit their manuscripts via email attachments to either journal@retp.eu or koz.gazdasag.bce@gmail.com.
• The editorial team reviews all submissions to ensure alignment with the journal's focus and scope. Inappropriate papers are promptly declined.
• Submitted articles deemed suitable undergo a comprehensive double-blind review process. The reviewers' evaluation encompasses an assessment of adherence to the journal's criteria, a detailed textual evaluation, and a final decision falling into one of the subsequent categories:
  • The study is accepted without changes and recommended for publication.
  • The study is accepted with minor corrections and recommended for publication.
  • The study is accepted for publication, but major revisions are requested.
  • The study is not suitable for publication.
• In instances where revisions are recommended, authors are required to resubmit their revised manuscripts along with a designated form detailing their responses to reviewers' comments.
• If major revisions are advised by the reviewers, the revised manuscripts undergo a subsequent round of peer review. Conversely, if only minor revisions are specified, the editorial team assesses the revised manuscripts.
• If revisions align with reviewers' requests and adhere to author guidelines, manuscripts proceed to further editing and are recommended for publication in the journal.

Kindly be advised that the editorial team extensively considers the comments and decisions provided by reviewers. Nevertheless, particularly in cases where reviewers present conflicting judgments, the editorial team retains the right to make the ultimate determination regarding the acceptance or rejection of the manuscript.
