EVALUATION PROCESS
Articles and reviews are evaluated by the double-blind peer review system. Once two positive evaluations are received, the article is accepted for publication. If the reviewers suggest any modification prior to acceptance, authors are informed so that they can revise the work and send a second version. If there is a discrepancy between the reviewers, it is sent to a third one. Since 2021, the CLIO editorial team is committed to providing a first response within a maximum period of 4 months.
ACCEPTANCE RATE
Since 2011, the annual acceptance rate has ranged from 63% (minimum in 2020) to 86.11% (maximum in 2015). In current issue the acceptance rate has been 65%.
