All papers are subject to the double-anonymous peer-review process and plagiarism check. After the paper has been approved by the Editors, as suitable for the journal, it will be peer-reviewed by at least two independent, anonymous expert referees. The choice of reviewers is at the Editors’ discretion. The Editors-in-Chief and Section Editors will match the papers with reviewers who are experts in the field of research but are not from the author’s institution and do not have recent joint publications with any of the authors. The reviewers of the same paper act independently and are not aware of each other’s identities. In case the review reports contain the opposite decision (accept/reject) or categorization of the article, the Editors-in-Chief and Section Editors may assign additional reviewers.

Short communications: these can be contributions of original research referring to case studies and technical aspects or policy briefs that present outcomes and lessons learned from various initiatives. Short communications are concise manuscripts, shorter than the typical full-format articles.
