The peer review process consists of several stages. In the first round, the journal editor reviews manuscripts for quality, focus, and suitability. In addition, manuscripts are checked for plagiarism. We use a widely recognised plagiarism detection system. Authors are informed of the results of the plagiarism check by sending a complete originality check document in the form of a PDF file.

Manuscripts that are outside the scope of the journal, do not meet plagiarism requirements, or are of unacceptably low standard and quality are rejected outright without a second round of review. Each manuscript is reviewed in a single-blind process by at least two independent reviewers. We ask our reviewers to complete the evaluation within six weeks. The reviewers will fill out a review form and evaluate the submitted manuscripts. Reviewers will evaluate the following points:

1. The manuscript is relevant for the Acta Logistica journal.
2. The manuscript is new, interesting, original, and of high quality.
3. The manuscript is prepared clearly, logically and correctly.
4. The language of the manuscript is clear and understandable.
5. The manuscript’s figures, diagrams, charts, and tables are readable, clear, and of high quality.
6. The references are used correctly and appropriately.

Based on the reviewers' comments, the editor makes a decision on the article and notifies the authors whether the manuscript is accepted without revision, accepted with minor or major revisions, or rejected. The review process ends with the review of the final version of the article in PDF format and the authors' confirmation of the article for publication in the journal. The journal reserves the right to manage and, where necessary, adapt the review process in accordance with editorial policies. In case of non-compliance with the conditions defined by the journal, the publisher has the right to reject the manuscript.
