STUDIA BIOLOGIA
The articles are assessed by specialized reviewers who are filling in a standard form in the process of reviewing. Their suggestions are sent to the author, in case the article requires modifications. As a rule, reviewers are unaware of who the author is and the author does not know the identity of reviewers, either (double blind review system).
Please evaluate the articles submitted to our journal as follows:
1. Written evaluation – critics and comments on the article (1-5 pages).
2. Evaluation based on the form.
