When submitting the article, the author will sign an acceptance of responsibility.
Before publication, the article will be read by two peer-reviewers who will fill
the form below. The author is entitled to see the peer-reviewers’ remarks and, possibly amend his/her article.
Dialogos practices double blind peer review. The author’s name is deleted from the article before the article is sent to the peer reviewers. The peer reviewers’ names are also deleted from the duly completed peer review form and, then, such forms are sent to the author to make the modifications and the corrections required and to send back the final article to the address mentioned on the journal’s site or to that of the editor in chief.
Peer reviewers are specialized in the language and the topic of the articles they review and have no conflict of interests with the author whose article they examine.
