At Brieflands, we provide specialized methodological consultations to our journals, guided by a commitment to integrity and trust in the peer review process. The Editor-in-Chief (EIC) can choose from our internal team of methodologists, who are experienced in scrutinizing scientific articles at various stages:
- Dual-Phase Article Screening Process:
- Our article screening process encompasses two critical phases to ensure the highest standards of quality and compliance with our journal guidelines:
- 1. Initial Screening at Submission: In the early stage of submission, our methodologists conduct a preliminary assessment of each article. This initial screening is crucial to determine whether the submissions align with the journal's standards and are appropriate for further review. It involves checking for adherence to submission guidelines, overall relevance, and basic scholarly standards.
- 2. Pre-Publication Screening: Prior to publication, a second screening is performed. This additional review ensures that any revisions or changes made during the peer review process are correctly incorporated and that the final manuscript maintains the required quality and integrity before being published.
