NRFH follows a strict double-blind review system. Our reviewers are internationally renown scholars. All submissions are initially assessed by the Editors or a member of the Editorial Board, who verifies if the submission fits the scope of journal and meets the standards expected in an academic publication. Once the submission passes this first filter, it is sent to two anonymous reviewers who may accept the contribution, suggest minor corrections, suggest that the paper should be reviewed and resubmitted or reject it. If the evaluations of the two reviewers are contradictory, the paper is sent to a third reviewer. When major revisions are required, the paper will normally be sent for at least one further review and will also be assessed by the Editors of the journal. A cover letter explaining all the changes made to the contribution is expected to accompany all revised submissions.

The final decision of publication rests solely on the Editors and the Editorial Board.

All contributions should be unpublished and must not have been simultaneously submitted to any other journal.

During the review and editing process, the Editors and the Editorial Board may ask the author for changes in their contributions. Also, the author might be contacted in order to solve minor form or content issues.

By Journal policy, the members of the Editorial Committee or the Directorate of the NRFH cannot publish while they hold that position.
