Received manuscripts are first examined by the Management and Production
Engineering Review Editors. Manuscripts clearly not suitable for
publication, incomplete or not prepared in the required style (see the
paper template:
http://mper.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10&Itemid=12)
will
be sent back to the authors without scientific review, but may be
resubmitted as soon as they have been corrected. The corresponding
author will be notified by e-mail when the manuscript is registered at
the Editorial Office (office@mper.org). The responsible editor will make
the decision either to send the manuscript to another reviewer to
resolve the difference of opinion or return it to the authors for
revision. The ultimate decision to accept, accept subject to correction,
or reject a manuscript lies within the prerogative of the
Editor-in-Chief and is not subject to appeal. The editors are not
obligated to justify their decision.
All manuscripts submitted to MPER editorial office (e-mail: office@mper.org) will be sent to at least two and in some cases three reviewers for passing the double-blind review process. The material formatted in the MPER format (see Author access at mper.org) must be unpublished and not under submission elsewhere. Once a year a list of co-operating reviewers is publish in electronic version of MPER.
All articles published in MPER are published in open access. In order to provide free access to readers, and to cover the costs of copyediting, typesetting, long-term archiving, and journal management, an article processing charge of 150 Euro for 10-page article applies to papers accepted after peer review. Each additional page of the article (over 10 pages) costs 15 Euro.
