Appeals

How to appeal an editorial decision.

Appeals

Authors may appeal editorial decisions they believe are unjustified. Appeals are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief and, where appropriate, the editorial board.

How to Appeal

  • Submit a written appeal within 30 days of the decision
  • Provide a clear rationale and address specific reviewer comments
  • Include any new evidence or clarifications

Review Process

Each appeal is assessed on its merits. The outcome is communicated to the author, and the decision is final unless new evidence emerges.
