Upon submission, all manuscripts are reviewed by one of the journal Editors. Some papers may be rejected at this stage as they do not meet basic scientific principles or they deal with topics beyond the scope of Scandinavian Journal of Urology. All other manuscripts will be entered into our peer review system and are sent to at least two reviewers with special expertise in the relevant subject field. Scandinavian Journal of Urology applies a single-blind peer review policy, meaning authors are not informed about the identity of the reviewers.
Based on the feedback from the reviewers, the Editors thereafter decide whether the manuscript should be accepted directly, which is rare, subject to minor or major revision before a final decision can be made, or rejected. The revised manuscript is usually sent to the reviewers again, sometimes including one further reviewer, before a final decision is made (or a decision to ask for further revision).
