Publication Process
How a manuscript moves from submission through editorial assessment, peer review and online publication.
From submission to publication
Scholix journals use editorial assessment and double-blind peer review to evaluate submitted manuscripts. The steps below summarize the process; journal-specific instructions and editorial decisions apply to each submission.
Initial screening
The editorial office checks the submission for completeness, journal suitability and initial quality. The author guidelines state that a submission confirmation is sent within 24–48 hours after this screening.
Editorial assessment and peer review
Submissions that pass the initial assessment are sent for reviewer evaluation. Scholix describes its review as double blind, with at least two extensive reviews informing the editorial decision.
Editorial decision
Possible outcomes include acceptance without revision, acceptance subject to minor or major revision, referral to a more suitable journal in the group, or rejection. The decision is based on the editorial assessment and reviewer recommendations.
Revision and reassessment
When revisions are requested, authors should address the reviewer and editor comments and resubmit the revised manuscript with a response. The revised work and response are assessed before a final decision is made.
Acceptance and online publication
Accepted manuscripts are copyedited and typeset before online publication. Article processing charges apply after review and acceptance; the APC page explains the charges and invoice process.
