Editorial Policy
The manuscripts submitted to the Scientific Bulletin of “Nicolae Bălcescu” Land Forces Academy should be sent to the editorial office via e-mail at buletinul@armyacademy.ro.
All submissions undergo an initial evaluation by the Editorial Board in order to assess their relevance to the journal’s scope, compliance with the author guidelines, scientific quality, originality, and adherence to ethical and editorial standards. Manuscripts that do not meet the technical or scientific requirements may be returned to the authors for revision before entering the peer review process.
The journal applies a double-blind peer review process, ensuring the anonymity of both authors and reviewers throughout the evaluation procedure. Eligible manuscripts are evaluated by at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the relevant scientific field, one of whom may be affiliated with the “Nicolae Bălcescu” Land Forces Academy, while the second reviewer is usually affiliated with another academic or research institution. In specific cases, a third reviewer may be appointed.
Reviewers evaluate manuscripts using the
Evaluation Form approved by the Scientific Council of the Academy. Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, manuscripts may be accepted without revisions, accepted with minor revisions, reconsidered after major revisions, or rejected.
Reviewer comments and recommendations are communicated anonymously to the authors, who are required to revise their manuscripts accordingly. Revised manuscripts may undergo an additional round of peer review.
The Editorial Board analyses the reviewers’ reports and proposes the manuscripts considered suitable for publication. The final decision regarding acceptance and publication belongs to the Scientific Council of the Academy.
The Editorial Board reserves the right to publish only manuscripts that meet the journal’s standards regarding scientific quality, originality, relevance, and ethical integrity.
