Aims & Scope

Papers will be published, just as in the previous proceedings volumes, following a rigurous peer-review process in order to raise the content of the journal to higher international standards. Furthermore, in the near future the Editorial Team will be also working toward the goal of submitting APR to an evaluation process that aims to include this journal in the ISI Web of Science, thus further increasing its international impact and recognition in the field. The language of the journal is English. Submissions may be in the form of articles, brief reports, discussions, or paper/book reviews. Papers are evaluated on the originality of data, interpretations, and ideas, and on the degree to which their findings can be generalized. All papers are subject to peer reviews. Articles accepted for publication are usually published in order of submission. Exceptions are made for papers of particular scientific significance, and for manuscripts which fully comply with editorial requirements given in the instruction for authors and require only minor changes.
