Reviewing Manuscripts

The reviewing process lasts usually a few weeks, depending on the submitted paper and time of submission.

The editorial team conducts a preliminary evaluation and assess whether the manuscript:
a. is relevant to the journal’s aims and scope,
b. complies with the AJMP’s stylesheet,
c. has clearly defined subject matter, research perspective and research material (if applicable).

If submitted manuscript does not comply with the preliminary evaluation criteria or does not meet academic standards it can be:
a. sent back to the author with a request to provide necessary adjustments within,
b. rejected by the editorial team.

Next, all submitted articles are sent to two independent reviewers. The authors and reviewers are not informed about each other’s identity (double-blind peer review procedure).

The reviewers are expected to provide in a written form an accurate, courteous, unbiased and justifiable review. The reference version is the manuscript submitted by the author.

Reviewers are supported with a review form which is sent to them via email. Within the agreed time, reviewers send in their recommendation for publishing the paper.

A reviewed manuscript is sent to the author with the review content. Authors introduce the suggested corrections and adjustments to their text. If an author accepts the comments partially or rejects them, they are obliged to respond in writing to the comments and justify their decision for each comment separately.

Authors are requested to return the final version of their manuscripts via email within two-week time, unless otherwise agreed. After the acceptance of the paper for publication the author receives an agreement to sign which confirms his/her own authorship and the non-infringement of rights of other persons. All the possible cases of unethical behaviour will be disclosed.

The final decision whether to accept papers positively evaluated in the reviewing process is made by the editor-in-chief.

Each published article and volume of Academic Journal of Modern Philology receives its unique DOI identificator to ensure their International Standardisation and for easier identification of published articles even if the metadata URL is changed.

The publication of AJMP takes place online and in print (ISSN 2299-7164 / e-ISSN 2353-3218) usually in the fourth quarter of the year.
