Peer review process:
The peer-review process takes place in several rounds. In the first round, the journal editor reviews
manuscripts for quality, focus, and suitability. In addition, manuscripts are checked for plagiarism.
We use a world-renowned system for plagiarism checking. 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 will be single-blind reviewed by at least two 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:
-
The manuscript is relevant for the Acta logistica journal.
-
The manuscript is new, interesting, original and high quality.
-
The manuscript is prepared clearly, logically and correctly.
-
The language of the manuscript is clear and understandable.
-
The manuscript’s figures, diagrams, charts, and tables are readable, clear, and high quality.
-
References of the manuscript are used correctly.
Based on the reviewers' comments, the editor makes a decision on the article and notifies the authors
whether the manuscript is accepted without editing, accepted with editing, or rejected for further
processing. 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 editor has
the right to manage and, under certain circumstances, change the review process at his or her discretion.
In case of non-compliance with the conditions defined by the journal, the publisher has the right
to reject the manuscript.
