III. Review process
EcRG follows a double-blind review meaning that both reviewer and author identities are hidden from the reviewers and vice-versa during entire review process.
The review process has three steps:
1. After a minimal analyzing of the manuscript, the editorial board decides if the paper can be sent to reviewers (approx. 1 week).
2. The reviewers, experts in the field, make the review reports of the paper (approx. 4-6 weeks)
3. Based on the reviewers' reports, the editorial board decides if the paper can be published or not in journal (approx. 1 week).
