Procedure for reviewing manuscripts by the Editor-in-Chief

A manuscript submitted by the Editor-in-Chief is transferred to the Deputy Editor-in-Chief or another independent member of the Editorial Board, who fully assumes the functions of the responsible editor for this manuscript. The Editor-in-Chief is completely removed from making decisions regarding his manuscript. Reviewers are appointed exclusively by external experts who are not affiliated with the publishing institution.
