Reviewing process

All manuscripts are reviewed by at least two referees and the Editor decision is based on their evaluation. In some instances the opinion of members of the Editorial Board is solicited. Following the return of the reviewed manuscripts, the authors are given three months to submit a revised version. After this deadline, revised papers are treated as new manuscripts and go through a new review process. Editor may return to authors without review any manuscript deemed to be of inadequate quality or inappropriate for REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY.

After article has been accepted for publication and after any revision has been completed, authors should supply a full copy (text, tables: MS Word 95/97; figures: MS Excel 95/97 or Corel Draw) of the accepted manuscript on a CD or by e-mail. Every CD should be clearly labeled with name of the journal, author and title, file content, format, software and program version number. Authors are advised always to keep a copy of the disk, as no responsibility can be accepted for loss.
