To help with the editorial process, the Editors kindly ask authors to draft their article using the ZRI's house style for formatting and footnotes. The most current ZRI style guide can be found at this link.
Editorial procedure
New contributions are subject to a preliminary review with regards to scientific standards and are subject to an initial language check and formatting.
Peer review
All Contributions are subject to double blind peer review by two reviewers. The Reviewers advise the Editors. A decision to accept or reject a contribution lies with the Editors alone. However, the Editors will not normally accept or reject a contribution against the clear recommendation of two Reviewers. The Editors can request the vote of a third Reviewer if they consider this helpful to assess the Contribution.
The Reviews are submitted to the Editors who will provide the Author with comments.
Finalisation of Contributions
Once finalised drafts of the contributions are returned from the authors, they are subject to a final review by the Editors and the editorial team . The editorial secretariat then finalises the formatting and layout. The final form issue of the ZRI is then sent to the library of Leipzig University to be placed on a persistent URL.
