The peer-review is strictly anonymous. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed either by two members of the Editorial Board of TLQ or, in case of extreme necessity, by one member of the Editorial Board of TLQ and by one independent expert with relevant expertise, or by two independent experts. For book reviews and reports, the standards of review are adapted as appropriate. They are accepted for publishing in TLQ based on the decision of the Head of the Editorial Board.

 

Please note that our peer-review process is double-blind and takes several criteria into account. Excellence is a necessary condition for publication, but it is not always a sufficient condition. The need for a balance of topics, TLQ’s particular areas of interest, which may change over time, the fact that something similar has already been published or overlaps with another submission in the pipeline, etc., may also influence the final decision. Therefore, a rejection does not necessarily reflect upon the quality of a piece.

 

We strongly encourage authors to comply with the Guidelines for Authors and ensure that the article meets the standards set by the Guidelines for Publication Ethics and Malpractice, which are based on the COPE Guidelines. For further information, see the Instructions for Authors and Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement sections on our website.
