Editorial process & peer review
Single-blind peer review. Reviewers know who the authors are; authors do not learn who reviewed them.
Scope, completeness and similarity check by the editorial office and Editor-in-Chief. Out-of-scope work is returned without review.
Two to three independent reviewers selected for subject expertise, with conflicts of interest excluded.
The handling editor recommends; the Editor-in-Chief decides: accept, minor or major revision, or reject. Revisions return to the reviewers when needed.
Copy editing, typesetting and author proof, then Online First with a DOI ahead of issue assignment.
Editorial decisions are independent of the publisher and of any fee. Reviewers receive a verifiable certificate for each completed review. The journal does not publish fixed turnaround times; the decision letter states the deadline for each revision.
Peer review policy, conflicts of interest, appeals and the full ethics framework are set out on the Publication Ethics page.

Citation counts refresh daily from the Dimensions Metrics API, over articles whose DOI is registered at Crossref. The same figure appears on each article page, next to a badge linking to the citing papers.
Citation data from Dimensions, an inter-linked research information system provided by Digital Science.
Indexing, abstracting & archiving
DOI registration and reference linking for every article (prefix 10.62755).
Every article carries a Crossmark badge showing its current status and any post-publication updates.
Full-text indexing through Highwire Press metadata on every article page.
Bielefeld Academic Search Engine, harvested through the journal's OAI-PMH endpoint.
Every article has a persistent DOI. Full metadata is deposited with Crossref and exposed for harvesting through OAI-PMH (journal.revise.id/oai). Long-term preservation in a dedicated archive is not yet in place and will be listed here once it is.
