Reviewers should start by checking if there is any conflict of interest and promptly notify the Editor in Chief.

Each received article is forwarded to two independent reviewers – double-blind review (reviewers do not know who is the author of the work; the author does not know who are the reviewers of his work). We insist on anonymity because we believe that this procedure will contribute to more independent, more critical and better examination papers.

Reviewers are encouraged to review the article within 15 days. If the Reviewers request a longer period, they can be granted, but not longer than 30 days. If the reviewers are unable to meet the deadlines, they are obliged to inform the Editor-in-Chief without delay. The reviewer does not have the rights to the content of the paper, the other, or that data from work that benefits are reviewed for any purpose. See the Basic Principles for Reviewers subsection for more details.

Reviewers have an obligation to care about ethical issues. If the paper is plagiarized, or the same title is published in another journal or anthology, they are obliged to immediately inform the Editor-in-Chief. In order to apply the highest standards in ethical publishing, Advanced Engineering Letters advises reviewers to base their work on the Committee for Publishing Ethics COPE – Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers.

The Editor-In-Chief submits the request to the reviewer via the online platform. If the reviewer accepts the request, he automatically gets access to the work after registration. In the personal data section, the reviewer can edit his personal data (name, title, ORCID, name of the institution where he works, place, etc.). These data are confidential, remain in the Editorial office and are not sent to the author of the paper with the necessary corrections, suggestions and complaints, if any.
