Peer review process
The review process aims to ensure that only high-quality scientific and innovative manuscripts will be published, which provide new and interesting information to the readers. The process is based on a form of peer review, whereby the submitted manuscript is assessed by experts, who are well versed in the relevant field. The experts remain anonymous towards the author, but also towards each other.
For the review there is an online form available for detailed criticism and modification requests for the manuscript. The author receives these comments in an anonymous form. The review closes with a classification of the work into one out of four categories:
- Accepted in the present form
- Revision necessary
- Rejected, resubmission possible
- Rejected
If the assessments of both reviewers lead to a result which indicates the first or second category, the procedure follows the results, as long as the editor-in-chief do not have any fundamental reservations. The work will be accepted for publishing, when the expectations of the reviewers and the editor are fulfilled.
If the manuscript is rejected unanimously by the reviewers, the authors will receive a rejection message with the detailed comments of the reviewers, in order to make the reasons of the rejection transparent. The editor-in-chief reserves the right to modify the procedure.
In case of substantially differing reviews, i.e. if only one of the experts speaks for the acceptance, then a third review will be obtained. Taking the editor’s opinion into account a decision is made.
The overall goal of all efforts is to make the review of scientific submissions for GMS Interdisciplinary Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery DGPW as transparent as possible and as critical as necessary.
