The Central European Nursing Review employs double-blind peer review (both the author and reviewers are anonymous) for most of its editorial decisions.

Editors of  Central European Nursing Review make the initial verification of the submitted texts,  comparing its subject with the journal’s profile and confirming the compliance with editorial requirements.

Manuscripts will receive two independent reviews, with reviewers selected by the editorial team. At least one of the reviewers is affiliated with a foreign institution.

Reviewers evaluate manuscripts in the Review Form. The Review Form is posted on the journal’s website. The detailed rules for reviewing the articles conform to the guidelines of the Polish Ministry of  Education and Science.

The editorial team will view mixed reviews as opportunities to ask the author(s) to engage with critiques, and the editorial team will make the final judgment on how well the author has accomplished this task. The review has a consultative function, which means that the final decision regarding the acceptance of the text for printing is made by editors of Central European Nursing Review.

The peer-review process should generally take no longer than 3 months. All final decisions are reviewed by the editorial board and the editor-in-chief.
