All manuscripts are peer-reviewed and must meet standards of academic excellence. If accepted through an editor, the submissions will be reviewed by reviewers, whose identities will remain anonymous to the authors.

Our Research Integrity team will from time to time seek advice that goes beyond the standard peer review, for example on materials with serious ethical, safety implications. We may consult with experts and the academic editor before deciding on appropriate action, including, but not limited to, engaging reviewers with particular expertise, evaluation by additional editors, and declining further consideration of the application.
