Peer Review Policy

Scientia Fungorum applies a rigorous peer review process with the purpose of guaranteeing the scientific quality, originality and relevance of the published manuscripts. The journal uses the double-blind review modality, through which the anonymity of both authors and reviewers is preserved during all stages of evaluation, thus favoring an objective and impartial opinion.

As the first stage of the editorial process, the Editor-in-Chief carries out a preliminary review of the manuscript to verify its thematic relevance, general quality and compliance with the journal's editorial standards. Contributions that pass this initial evaluation are assigned to an editor of the editorial team, who will be responsible for coordinating the review process. The assigned editor will select the specialists in charge of the review and will manage the evaluation of the manuscript until an editorial decision is issued.
