After the evaluation of the referees, an article deemed publishable with a report given by two referees is published in the following issue. In case one of the referee reports is positive and the other negative, the article is sent to a third referee. At that rate, whether the article will be published or not is to be decided with respect to the third referee’s report. The reviewers of the paper won't get to know the identity of the author(s), and the author(s) won't get to know the identity of the reviewer (double blind peer review).
