Review algorithm

This year, reviews are conducted in a double-blind manner. The review algorithm is as follows:

1. Every incoming paper is subject to the structure, formatting and subject appropriateness checks. If primary requirements are not met, the paper is rejected with Desk Reject status. Otherwise, the paper advances to a second step in the review process.
2. Review. Two reviewers are assigned to each paper.
   1. If both reviews are positive (Accept/Accept) the paper is sent to a meta-reviewer for their final decision;
   2. If either (or both) of review decisions are Send for Revision, and the other is Accept, then the paper is sent back for revision; revised paper is then sent for a meta-review;
   3. If either of the decisions is Reject, then the paper will be sent back for revision; revised paper will then be sent for a meta-review, which in this case is conducted by two meta-reviewers;
   4. If both decisions are Reject, then the paper is rejected.
   Please note!
   Papers that were not accepted for publication during the second step of the review process, receive the Reject status. If the paper is accepted during the latter review steps, it will have its status changed to Accept.
3. Meta-review. Every paper goes through a meta-review process, after which it gets Accepted or Rejected.

Authors should revise their papers in accordance with the reviewers' suggestions, during March 27 to April 3 time window, and then submit their final paper to the CMT site.
