Step 4. Publishing

If modifications are requested, the author or authors have up to 3 months to make the requested changes. If no response is received after this period, the work will be rejected and archived. The external referees will also examine corrected versions before final approval is given.

In the themed section, the original version of submitted articles can exceptionally be published if the coordinator of the issue expressly informs the author.

Before sending articles to press, the author or authors will receive the page proofs for final correction of errors. Once published, the author can receive an offprint from the online edition of the journal in pdf format (this maintains the form and pagination of the paper publication).

The journal does make any charge on authors for processing, submitting, editing or publishing articles so there is no economic cost for authors who pass the review process.
