Peer review process

The Journal @limentech, Food Science and Technology evaluates the contributions of its authors with a double-blind peer review policy. Once an article is proposed, the Editor sends the manuscript to two expert reviewers in the area (usually external to the publishing institutions) to submit it to a strict arbitration process (in cases where there is controversy between the evaluators, a third reviewer will be sought). Each reviewer can accept or reject the article. Likewise, in case of acceptance, he/she may suggest changes in the structure and content of the text to the author. If this is the case, a second round of review is carried out, thus giving the author the possibility of adapting the text to the editorial criteria of the Yearbook. Revision time is a maximum of three months. The editor of the Journal should inform the author(s) about the process of evaluation and selection of articles.
