 Zapf Chancery Policy on Peer-Reviewing

All scholarly and academic works published by Zapf Chancery are peer-
reviewed by at least two scholars in the field to which the work belongs.
The purpose of peer reviewing is to get a second opinion from the
community of scholarship to which the author belongs and thus add
value to the work. All peer-reviewing is “blind-reviewing,” that is, the
reviewer does not get to know the author, nor does the author get to
know the reviewer.

Peer-reviewing is done with the help of a especially designed instrument

awarding numerical score on originality (40%), quality and currency of
the sources cited (20%), presentation (30%), and language & Style
(10%). For a work to be published a minimum cumulative score of 60%
on the British grading scale is required. Works falling below this score
are referred back to authors for improvement and further reviewing until
the desired score can be obtained.
