All manuscripts submitted to Trends in Vector Research and Parasitology will be peer reviewed. Each manuscript will be sent to the appropriate Editor who in turn will assign 3 reviewers (other members of the Editorial Board or outside experts) with the stipulation that the review must be submitted within 2 weeks. Once the reviews are received from at least two reviewers, the Editor will make a decision, regardless of the third reviewer response.

Herbert Publications follow single-blinded peer-review process: authors’ names and affiliations are revealed to reviewers, while authors are kept blinded from reviewer details. Authors can provide suggested reviewers and disclose any competing interests.

Reports from at least two reviewers will be taken into consideration for the decision to accept or reject a manuscript. Editors can give updated guidance to reviewers when required. Reviewers are given 3 weeks to send their reviews, and Editors-in-Chief aim to take the final decision within 6 weeks of submission.
