Editorial policies

Peer-Review Process

The scientific integrity of From Research to Practice is grounded in a rigorous double-blind peer-review system:

• Review workflow: Following an initial compliance screening, each manuscript is sent to two external reviewers.
• Review criteria: Reviewers assess originality, methodological clarity, data relevance and quality of writing.
• Resolution of disagreements: In the event of conflicting reviews, the manuscript is sent to a third reviewer.

• Open access: Any user may read, download, copy, distribute, print or create links to the full texts without prior permission, provided that authorship is properly attributed and the journal is acknowledged as the original place of publication.
• No article processing charges (APCs): No fees are charged at any stage of the editorial process.
