Criteria for the Approval of Papers for Publication

      Philologia will publish any contribution which, previously approved by reviewers, conforms to the journal's policy and satisfies the technical requirements as stated under Submission Guidelines, and Citation of Sources and References.

      All papers are read in a double-blind fashion by two reviewers who are experts in the relevant field. The editor contacts the author by email within a fortnight of the submission of the paper. This period can be extended up to 20 days if the author has submitted his/her paper immediately before the deadline. The Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board may request the author to make alterations to the paper, so that it conforms to the journal's line. The Editorial is obligated to offer reasons for rejection as well as for any alterations.
      Authors whose papers have not been recommended are notified by the Editor-in-Chief within 5 days of receipt of the review. Within the same period, the Editor-in-Chief also informs other authors of the positive evaluation of their papers, as well as of any remarks and suggestions for alteration. Authors are obliged to accept the reviewers' recommendations and to modify their paper accordingly, within the period determined by the Editor-in-Chief, not less than 7 days. That period may only be shortended in agreement with the author.
