Peer Review Process

All original research, feature articles, classics and evidence summary submissions are reviewed by two members of the Editorial Advisory Team using a double blind reviewing process. This includes submissions from the editors or members of the Editorial Advisory Team. Care is taken to ensure that submissions are reviewed by members of the team with knowledge of the subject area but who do not have a conflict of interest (see Review Guidelines).
