Every text sent to the office address is subject to an evaluation of its scientific quality. The peer review process undergoes the following steps:
The papers sent to philobiblon.cluj[at]gmail.com are analysed in the editorial office in order to establish whether they correspond thematically with the journal’s editorial policy and whether they respect the rules presented in the Information for Authors and Ethics and Malpractice.
If the paper respects the basic criteria stated above, it is sent to experts of the editorial and scientific advisory board. The articles undergo a double-blind peer review process which may last approximately two or three months.
The editorial office communicates to the author the observations and/or the publication conditions imposed by the experts and by the editorial board, as well as a deadline for making the necessary modifications.
The texts received in the editorial office follow a series of steps in the evaluation process. In the first instance, they are reviewed internally, to determine whether the subject falls within the lines established by the profile of the journal and whether it complies with certain basic criteria of scientific research. If the texts comply with the rigors imposed by the editors of the journal, the texts are forwarded to the permanent evaluators, in order to undergo the double-blind evaluation process. The evaluators follow a series of scientific criteria (relevance, originality, structure, coherence, primary and secondary bibliography, quality of the language) and make the necessary recommendations – unconditional acceptance of the text, acceptance if the authors make certain changes, rejection with certain recommendations for improvement or categorical rejection.
