Editorial policy

Manuscripts are addressed to one of the Editors-in-Chief who review them in consultation with a member of the Editorial board in order to decide whether the paper will be further considered for publication in the "Notes". Manuscripts are then either returned to the corresponding author or subjected to peer review by an independent referee. In the event of initial rejection, manuscripts may be sent to two other referees.
