Copyright and intellectual property

By submitting a work to us, the author warrants that:

• he/ she is the sole author of the work. If not, the submitting author is responsible for obtaining agreement of all coauthors before submitting a manuscript.

• the work does not infringe upon any copyright, proprietary, or personal right of any third party. If the work contains any material that is owned or controlled by a third party, the author certifies that he/she has obtained permission for its use and that the material is clearly acknowledged within the text.

 

Review process

All submitted manuscripts are first assessed by an in-house designated editor to determine whether they fit Vremea’s editorial profile and to ensure that basic quality standards are met.

If the manuscript passes the initial assessment, it is forwarded to the Editor-in-Chief, who further reviews the manuscript and decides on the next step: reject the manuscript, ask the authors to revise and resubmit, or recommend the manuscript for a final evaluation.

If recommended for a final evaluation:

• general works (autobiographies, memoirs, journals, correspondence, fiction, poetry, children’s books, etc.) undergo a final evaluation by the Editorial Board, after which a definitive decision is made.

• scientific or technical works undergo an external peer review evaluation. The Editor-in-Chief identifies 1-2 external peer reviewer(s) with expertise in the field of the work (either among Vremea’s external referees or based on their recommendation) who are willing to evaluate the manuscript. Following their review, the Editorial Board makes a final decision.

NB: Doctoral theses may be accepted for publication based on the doctoral committee referral reports (the decision rests solely with the Editor-in-Chief).

* Please allow between 6-12 weeks for a decision to be made.
