Review Process

---

Origini is a journal that publishes research contributions in the fields of Prehistory and Protohistory. All research articles submitted to the journal undergo a single-blind peer review process.

Submitted manuscripts first undergo a preliminary assessment by the editors to determine their relevance to the journal’s scope, their scientific significance and their overall quality.Manuscripts deemed suitable for peer review are then sent to two independent reviewers, selected on the basis of their expertise in the specific field of research. 

In the single-blind review process, the identities of the reviewers are not disclosed to the authors, while reviewers are aware of the authors’ identities. 

Reviewers are asked to assess the originality of the contribution, its scientific quality, methodological soundness, clarity of presentation and contribution to the field, as well as the adequacy of the bibliography and documentation. 

The final decision on a manuscript is made by the Editor-in-Chief together with the Associate Editors, taking into account the reviewers’ reports. Possible outcomes include acceptance, acceptance subject to revisions, invitation to revise and resubmit, or rejection. 

In cases where the reviewers’ assessments are substantially divergent, the editors request an additional review and conduct a further editorial assessment before reaching a final decision. 

Certain types of contributions, such as book reviews or other content not classified as research articles, may be subject to a different editorial assessment procedure.
