Editorial Review Policy
ABC depends on the scholarly
review process for the selection
for publication of quality
manuscripts in line with the
highest academic standards.
Appropriateness for inclusion of
an article in the journal is
given by the soundness of the
article’s academic standards,
the strength of the body of
research endorsing it, novelty
and the spectrum of interest of
the journal.
Reviewer selection is essential
to the review process.
Consequently, our choice of
peer-reviewers is based on
several complex factors, ranging
from area of expertise,
credentials, availability and
willingness to devote time to
the fair assessment of
manuscripts as well as our
previous experience with the
individual. |

Procedure
All scholarly eligible
manuscripts submitted for
consideration for publication in
ABC are refereed. The review
process is
blind:
manuscripts that meet the
preliminary
requirements of suitability for
the review process are assigned
a reference number,
ABC-XXX and are sent out to
subject specialists for
reviewing anonymously. Only
manuscripts assessed as likely
to meet ABC criteria upon
initial screening are sent for
formal review. Based on the
referees’ reading reports,
articles will be acceptable,
acceptable with revisions (as
per the report from the referee)
or rejected. The review process
will typically take between
45-60 days. The referees’
comments are forwarded to
authors in view of appropriate
revision. The referees’ comments
on rejected manuscripts shall be
forwarded to authors upon
request. The identity of the
referee is kept confidential and
we leave it up to the reviewers
to choose whether or not to
reveal themselves to the
corresponding author.
We
reserve the right not to include
revised articles that do not
fully respond to the alterations
suggested by the reviewer.
The final
decision regarding publication
rests with the EIC
(Editor-in-Chief). An accepted
manuscript will subsequently be
forwarded to the Manuscript
Editor for final processing.
Finally a letter of acceptance
is sent to the authors,
requesting all authors to sign
the license to publish form and
at this stage submit any final
supplementary material
required. Authors will be asked
to complete and return the
online copyright license to
publish form on receipt of
accepted manuscript. It is a
condition of publication in the
ABC journal that authors grant
an exclusive license to The
Academic Anglophone Society of
Romania, AASR. Requests from
third parties to reproduce
articles will be handled with
utmost efficiency in the best
interest of our contributing
authors and of the wide
dissemination of knowledge. In
assigning the license, authors
may use their own material in
other publications provided that
the journal is acknowledged as
the original place of
publication, and Lucian Blaga
University Press, on behalf of
The Academic Anglophone Society
of Romania, is pre-notified in
writing. |
