Peer Review Process

All submissions are reviewed initially by the managing editor for general relevance and compliance with basic style requirements (typographical accuracy, correct bibliographic format, etc.). Articles that require some pre-submission work are usually returned to the author within 7-10 days.


Articles that are relevant to the scope of the journal and meet the minimum standards of our style guide are vetted initially by an editor or associate editor and, if accepted for review, send on for refereeing to a minimum of two (double blind) readers.
Reviewers are drawn from among the editorial advisory boards of the journal and international experts in the fields of the submissions DS/CN receives. DS/CN strives in the case of new submissions to get the results of this review back to authors within two to three months of submission. Highly specialised articles or cases of split recommendations can experience longer turn around times.
