Peer-reviewing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>External peer-reviewing in <em>Silva Iaponicarum<\/em> is conducted by a minimum of two anonymous reviewers whose field of expertise is concurrent with that of the evaluated manuscript.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In principle, reviewers are selected from among academics who hold a Ph.D. degree in Japanese studies or a related discipline. Concessions may, however, be made in the case of renowned specialists concerning the specific content of the evaluated paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Throughout the reviewing process, the principle of double-blind review is strictly observed. Before the transfer to a prospective reviewer, all papers are carefully anonymized \u2013 any suggestions of the author\u2019s identity, along with the meta-data of the file, are removed from the text.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reviews are written with the use of <em>Silva Iaponicarum<\/em> review forms (available below).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The language of the reviews and the review forms may be either English or Japanese, and it should accord with the language of the manuscript.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The review form includes an obligatory section with four yes-no questions and a four-scale grade, and an optional section for the reviewer\u2019s comments\/feedback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Within the four-scale grade, grades \u201ca\u201d and \u201cb\u201d indicate a positive assessment, grade \u201cc\u201d a conditionally positive assesment, and grade \u201cd\u201d\u2013 rejection. Grades \u201ca\u201d \u2013 \u201cc\u201d are therefore considered positive or \u201cpass\u201d reviews.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As a rule, the paper needs a minimum of two positive reviews in order to be published. The editorial board, however, reserves the right to make case-by-case decisions in borderline circumstances, such as ultimately rejecting a paper which received grades \u201cc\u201d and \u201cd\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A list of reviewers who have cooperated with <em>Silva<\/em> on the fascicles issued in the passing calendar year will be published at the end of the final fascicle of each year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Review forms: <a href=\"https:\/\/silvajp.web.amu.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Review-Form-SilvaIaponicarumENG.docx\">English<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/silvajp.web.amu.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Review-Form-SilvaIaponicarum-JP.docx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Japanese<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All academic papers sent to Silva Iaponicarum undergo a two-step qualification process.
