Peer Review Evaluation

Strict choice and content excellence

Ledizioni publishes only books, magazines or articles that are evaluated by expert staff. All our publications are subjected to a rigorous evaluation process, both of form and content, by experts in the subjects being evaluated.

What is Peer Review

Peer review is a process in which an author's work (e.g. a research article) is evaluated by people who are experts on the subject. With this process we aim to:

  1. Determine whether the research was performed and explained correctly in the article
  2. Help authors improve their work
  3. Help publishers decide on the scientific nature of a work

Each manuscript submitted to Ledizioni is first evaluated by the publishing house's editorial team with regards to its relevance to the catalogue, the editorial style and the amount of editorial work to make the manuscript a book that meets our quality standards.

Once this first validation phase has been passed, the manuscript is sent to the validation process peer-review double blind. The manuscript, made anonymous, is sent to the scientific committee of a specific series or of the reference discipline, which will carry out the review or indicate the names of the two external reviewers to whom the review will be entrusted. Their response consists of a survey form, in which the scientific quality, the originality of the treatment, the clarity of the presentation are evaluated and any changes, additions or corrections to be made are indicated.
The names of the heads of the series and area scientific committees, as well as the names of the external reviewers who provided their work, are published on the Ledizioni website.

In the case of two positive answers, the manuscript, after making any recommended changes, which is checked by the Ledizioni editorial team, will be edited by the same editorial team and then published.

In case of a positive and a negative answer il manoscritto viene o direttamente rifiutato, in base alle motivazioni espresse, o inviato ad un terzo revisore, il cui parere sarà decisivo.
In case of both negative opinions, the manuscript is obviously rejected.
As a sign of gratitude for the work carried out, free volumes from the Ledizioni catalog are offered to the reviewers.
