Book review format template

To ensure and improve quality, articles must undergo a peer review process before they are published in the ZöR. The main steps of this process are as follows:
Submitted articles that do not correspond to the content orientation of the ZöR or obviously do not fulfil the quality requirements are rejected by the editors. Contributions that are potentially suitable for publication are forwarded anonymously to a subject-specific reviewer. The editors select the reviewer.
The purpose of the review is to improve the quality of an article by identifying potential improvements of all kinds (content, topicality, language, etc.) and minimising any weaknesses. It is based on a standardised questionnaire that serves as a grid for assessing various aspects of the article (e.g. choice of topic, method, elaboration of arguments).
The final decision on the inclusion of a contribution in the ZöR is made once the review has been completed. In the event of acceptance, the author has the option of accepting the suggestions or - with justification - refraining from doing so.

The ZöR is committed to the standards of good scientific practice as set out by the Austrian Agency for Research Integrity in the "Guidelines for Good Scientific Practice". To guarantee that these standards are adhered to, all persons involved in the publication process undertake to comply with the following guidelines.

Duties of the editors

The editors are responsible for deciding which articles are included in the peer review process and which articles are published in the ZöR. These decisions are based on the scientific quality of the work and the recommendation of the reviewer. Manuscripts are assessed objectively based on professional criteria. Aspects such as the gender, origin, political or religious views of the authors are irrelevant for the evaluation.

Manuscripts will be treated confidentially by the editors. Information about the manuscript will only be passed on if this is necessary as part of the peer review process.

Duties of the reviewers

The reviewers are responsible for assessing the quality of the content of submitted manuscripts and thus supporting the editors in their publication decisions. This evaluation may only be based on the strengths and weaknesses of the text. Criticism should be expressed in an objective manner and supported by arguments. Any personal criticism of the authors of the manuscript should be avoided.

If the reviewer recognises that the work cannot be carried out completely impartially, the editors must be informed immediately.

Information about the manuscript must be treated confidentially by the reviewer and may only be passed on as part of the peer review process until publication. Information or ideas obtained during this activity may not be used for personal gain.

Obligations of the authors

Authors must guarantee that they have written the manuscripts and must clearly and recognisably identify any ideas and thoughts of others. Any co-authors who have contributed significantly to the preparation of the manuscript must be identified.

A manuscript submitted to the ZöR must be unpublished and must not have already been submitted to another publication medium.

Authors agree to accept the objective and factual criticism expressed during the review process and to respond to it accordingly.
