All articles and shorter contributions will be peer-reviewed anonymously, usually within three months. Articles normally have two reviewers, shorter contributions one, but the number is at the Editor’s discretion. Where reviewers disagree in their assessment, the Editor and Editorial Board will make the final decision. Decisions about reviews are made by the Reviews Editor. Detailed comments from referees are normally available to the contributor, anonymously.

Appeals

To appeal an editorial decision, please contact the Editor (at will.bowden@nottingham.ac.uk) and specify the reason for your appeal. 

Your appeal will be reviewed by the Editor and/or an Editor who did not review the manuscript. The final decision regarding your appeal will rest with the BRI Editor and Editorial Committee.
