All research, commentaries and reviews undergo peer review. Submitted manuscripts are subject to immediate screening by the Editorial Board, and articles that do not meet the standards of the journal may be declined without further review. Appropriate manuscripts will be sent to up to 4 independent referees.
Supplements containing meeting proceedings or reviews undergo external peer review; supplements containing meeting abstracts are reviewed by the meeting organisers prior to submission.
Editors and referees are asked to declare any competing interests they may have in reviewing a manuscript.
All peer review is closed - authors are not given the names of the reviewers of their article
If an author is not satisfied with the decision made on their manuscript, they are welcome to contact the Editorial Office with their appeal. A second opinion on the manuscript will be sought where appropriate.
