Peer review process

Advances in Health and Exercise operates on a double-blind review process. Submissions to the journal will initially be evaluated by the Editorial Board. The topic of the manuscript must be appropriate for the scope of the journal. Manuscripts considered for publication must contain relevant and up-to-date data on theoretical or experimental research or on practical applications in the field of health and exercise.

During the preliminary assessment, the Editor may determine that the submission does not fall within the purview, aims, or scopes of the journal and may deny admittance to peer review.

All manuscripts deemed suitable and appropriate to the journal are sent to two (2) independent expert reviewers with hidden identities to assess the scientific quality of the paper. During the peer-review process, the editors declare, that none of the information about the authors will be disclosed to reviewers, editorial board, or publisher.

Following the evaluation of manuscripts, the editor sends the result of the review process to the author. The author is obliged to consider the comments and revise the manuscript based on the comments of the reviewers. Reviewers have the right to reject an article. Manuscripts, that are not applicable for publishing are rejected immediately. Manuscripts, that are meeting the requirements with minor issues are sent back to authors for correction. Manuscripts are accepted only after approval by both independent reviewers.

Authors are obliged to participate in the peer review process and cooperate fully by responding promptly to editors’ requests for raw data, clarifications, proof of ethics approval, and patient consent. In the case of a first decision of “revisions necessary“, authors should respond to the reviewers’ comments systematically, point by point, and in a timely manner, revising and re-submitting their manuscript to the journal by the deadline given.

The final decision about accepting or refusing the manuscript is strictly and fully in the competency of the editorial board. The Editorial Board are responsible for the scientific and ethical standard of the journal.

The journal strives to maintain a short, but thorough peer-review process. The average time in review is 20 days, but the Editor will endeavor to expedite manuscript handling if circumstances dictate.
