Reviewers shall evaluate the papers in accordance with the standards of reliability and objectivity.
Reviewers, when formulating objections against the assessed text, are obliged to justify them.
Reviews in the journal Cultural Studies Appendix are anonymous and are carried out in compliance with the principle of double-blind review.
Reviewers cannot evaluate the papers in case if which there is a conflict of interest resulting from competition, cooperation or other relationships with authors, companies or institutions related to the article.
Each article qualified by the editorial board for the review stage receives two independent reviews. The editorial board shall ensure that the Reviewers are selected in accordance with their competence in the subject matter of the article being reviewed.
The review shall be prepared on a standardised form placed on the journal’s website and sent in an electronic version (signed scan of the review form together with its editable version) to the address of the editorial board. The review form contains three possible conclusions: positive (acceptance for printing), positive conditional (acceptance for printing after introducing suggested amendments) and negative (non-acceptance for printing).
In case of two conflicting conclusions (one positive or positive conditional and one negative), the Editorial Board may decide to accept or reject the text for publication, and is obliged to justify the decision in writing, or to appoint a third super reviewer to whom it will make the text of the article and previous reviews available.
