The selection of the reviewers is the responsibility of the journal's editorial board. The reviewers evaluate the scientific level, originality, method of preparation and scientific contribution of the paper. The result of the review process, together with the editorial decision on whether or not to accept the manuscript for publication, will be communicated to the author by the editors.
