The EPPM-Journal is a refereed journal. All submitted papers are subject to double-blind peer review, i.e., authors and reviewers are unaware of the identity of each other. All articles undergo rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing. Two or more reviewers will review submitted articles. The Journal endeavors to maintain a rapid review process. The average review time is
five
weeks. The authors may be requested for revisions until the paper satisfies the quality of the Journal.

have been accepted. Decisions are made based on reviewer suggestions. Before publication, papers will be sent to authors for proofing.
