Review policy
Special incentives for our Reviewers!
Since January 1, 2021, our Reviewers receive 5 points for each review prepared for our journal.
A total of 20 points* allows them to publish an article in Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine free of charge.
*points are valid for 2 years counting from January 1 of the year in which the were awarded.
If an author knows or supposes that they are eligible for APC waiver, they should contact the Managing Editor: marek.misiak@umw.edu.pl [alternative e-mail for Chinese authors: marek.misiak@friend.pl] – the Editorial System not always reminds editors about such eligibility.
The reviewing process
Each manuscript is reviewed by two independent external reviewers. Reviews are based on the, so-called, double-blind review policy. Editors ask the Authors to identify at least two reviewers, which does not mean, however, their automatic choice. The names of reviewers of each publication are not disclosed. The manuscript is qualified for printing after obtaining two (2) positive reviews. In case of one negative review, the Editorial Board reserves the right to reject the manuscript. The list of reviewers is posted on the Journal’s website once a year (in the last issue).
Detailed technical and ethical guidelines for peer reviewers
AI tools usage
Reviewers may not use AI technology in generating or writing their reviews because this could breach the confidentiality of the manuscript.
