Peer Review

Peer review ensures the quality of a manuscript before publication. Submitted manuscripts are generally reviewed by two experts in the relevant field, who evaluate originality, relevance, validity and significance. Manuscripts are accepted on the reviewers' recommendation. Plant Archives follows a double-blind peer review process: the reviewer's identity is concealed from the authors and vice versa.
