Peer Review Process
Each article in TYCHE is being reviewed by the editorial board as well as by the Scientific Advisory Board and/or other international experts. The articles are submitted for review anonymously (double-blind peer review). Having determined the innovative and scientific quality and the relevance of the contribution, further criteria for articles to be selected for TYCHE are the consideration of recent publications and correct sophisticated language. In case of a positive decision, the proposals of the experts will be sent to the respective authors for incorporation. This process improves the quality of the published articles and ensures the high standard of TYCHE.
As soon as your article has been accepted for print you are asked to follow the guidelines of TYCHE.
