MANUSCRIPT SELECTION PROCESS
Submitted manuscripts will be reviewed according to the style guidelines firstly. The review will take place within 2-3 weeks, after which we will notify the author electronically (by e-mail) of the further review process. Incomplete manuscripts will be sent to the authors for style revision. Papers will only reviewed in substance if they meet formal requirements. The manuscript is checked for plagiarism using iThenticate software.
Manuscripts approved in form will be assigned to scientific researchers who have knowledge of the manuscripts’ field-of-study. Reviewers have 2-3 weeks to prepare their reviews. English chapters will be reviewed by a proofreader after content check. Comments will be returned to the authors with additional suggestions for grammatical, correctness and formal mistakes.
Two independent reviewers will review the manuscripts considering the following 9 categories of the “Revision Guideline”: (1) Novelty and originality; (2) Scientific importance; (3) Title; (4) Abstract; (5) Construction; (6) Length; (7) Tables; (8) Figures; (9) Comments, suggestions (according to the evaluation of manuscripts).
In The Hungarian Journal of Nutrition Marketing, submitted manuscripts will be reviewed under double blind peer review system: reviewers of manuscripts write anonymous comments without getting any information about the authors.
After being corrected based on reviewers’ comments, manuscripts needed small changes will be reviewed by the editors and will be sent to the authors with a final assessment. Authors have 2-3 weeks to submit the final manuscript and attach a list of corrections that includes responses to the corrections requested by the reviewers.
Accepted manuscripts will be published in the next issue of our journal (the process takes less than 24 weeks). We will inform the authors of the exact time of publication.
