Abstract

The Semantic Web journal adheres to a non-standard review process which is open and transparent. Submitted papers, after a light editorial review, get posted online for public access as soon as they enter the review process. The handling editor, whose name is visible on the paper’s page, then solicits reviewers. In addition, any researcher can provide an unsolicited review via the journal website. The name of an unsolicited reviewer is always known. Solicited reviewers (and in almost all cases we expect a paper to have at least three solicited reviews) are by default also non-anonymous, however the reviewers can opt for anonymity using a check-box.
