Peer Review Process

Competent reviewers are selected from the Editorial Board and guest editors. Identities of authors will not be revealed in order to get a candid review.

The reviewers are asked to complete the Review Form and recommend to the Editor-in-Chief whether the paper should be accepted, revised or rejected after the reviews are completed. The peer review process takes up to 2 weeks. The Editor-in-Chief will closely monitor the process to ensure a thorough, unbiased, confidential review.

Our journals are committed to rapid editorial decisions and publication, and we believe that an efficient editorial process is a valuable service both to our authors and to the scientific community as a whole. We therefore ask reviewers to respond promptly within the number of days agreed. If reviewers anticipate a longer delay than previously expected, we ask them to let us know so that we can keep the authors informed and, where necessary, find alternatives.

Publication Frequency

Advances in Natural Science is semiannually issued by Canadian Research & Development Center of Sciences and Cultures. Its contents will be published on line in accordance with frequency.

Open Access Policy
