Appeals against editorial decisions

Authors may appeal a decision within 14 days by writing to the editorial office (see the Contact page), with a point-by-point explanation of why the decision should be reconsidered. Appeals based only on disagreement are not considered. The principal editor assigns an editor who was not involved in the original decision, or an additional reviewer, and informs the author of the outcome within 30 days. The decision after an appeal is final.
