Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the peer review process take?
The standard turnaround is 3-4 weeks from submission to decision. Initial triage takes 48 hours, reviewer assignment 3-5 days, and evaluation 10-14 days. Expedited review is available for time-sensitive entries.
Can I suggest specific reviewers?
Yes. You may recommend up to three experts and explicitly exclude others if conflict of interest is a concern. The editorial board makes final assignment based on availability and expertise alignment.
What happens if my submission requires major revisions?
You will receive a detailed rubric-based report highlighting required changes. You have 30 days to resubmit. Revised manuscripts go through a streamlined second review focusing only on modified sections.
Is the peer review process anonymous?
Aevum uses single-blind review by default (reviewers know authors, authors do not know reviewers). Double-blind or open review options are available upon request during submission.
