The European Law Blog uses a double-blind peer-review model.
Each submission is first screened by the editorial assistant to ensure that the submission meets the requirements and is in the blog’s remit. Following this, each eligible submission is reviewed by at least one member of the editorial board or, where needed, external reviewers.
One reviewer routinely conducts the review of the submission and decides whether a submission may be published, revised or rejected. In cases of uncertainty or rejection, a second reviewer is consulted to provide an additional review. In case of disagreement between the two reviewers, the editorial board decides whether a submission may be published, revised, or rejected.
Throughout the process, the identity of the author of a submission remains unknown to the reviewers.
