Peer Review Procedure

The peer review process of the journal "Medien und Kommunikationswissenschaft M&K" corresponds to the peer reviewing procedure that has proven itself in scientific practice. Submitted manuscripts are anonymised by the editors upon receipt, so that the authors are unknown to all those involved in the review process as well as the members of the editorial board. The members of the advisory board (to which the divisions of the German Society for Journalism and Communication Studies [DGPuK] as well as the Swiss Society for Communication and Media Studies [SGKM] and the Austrian Society for Communication Studies [ÖGK] each send one person) will be informed by e-mail about the title and abstract of the anonymised manuscript. They will also be invited to make suggestions for reviewers, and may suggest themselves as reviewers.
 
Based on these and their own proposals, the editors will decide to whom the manuscript should be forwarded and which external reviewers should be consulted. The central selection criterion is the professional reputation and scientific expertise for the topic. As a rule, these are postdocs and professors, but occasionally we also ask doctoral students who are currently doing intensive research on a topic for their expertise. The final selection is the responsibility of the editors, because only they can assess, with the knowledge of the authors, whether there is too much proximity between the reviewers and those being reviewed. Other aspects also play a role, such as the desire to spread the work on as many shoulders as possible and, conversely, to give the community the widest possible opportunity to participate in the selection process.
 
As a rule, two external experts are consulted. In addition, one or two members of the editorial staff review the manuscript. This means that there are usually at least three votes on a manuscript. On this basis, the editorial board as a collegial body makes its decision on the acceptance of the manuscript or the recommendation of a revision or new submission. This decision is summarised in an editorial decision and sent to the authors together with the (also anonymised) reviews on which this decision is based. The external reviewers involved are also informed of the decision and the votes after the review process has been completed. The editors will attempt to carry out the review procedure within eight weeks of receipt of the manuscript. If this is not possible, the authors will be notified accordingly.
 
In general, all submissions will be required to provide an assurance that the manuscript is an original manuscript that has not yet been published elsewhere or submitted for publication.
