Peer Review Process Link
Peer Review Policy	All Karger Open Access journals are peer-reviewed, and aim to provide the authors with fast and constructive feedback regarding their submitted manuscripts. Karger Open Access journals use an online submission and peer-review system to expedite the process. Every journal has a dedicated Editor-in-Chief and international editorial board to ensure a thorough peer-review and the highest scientific publishing standards. The Editor-in-Chief is responsible to ensure high quality peer-review of papers submitted to the journal and decides on the specific peer-review policies for the journal. See individual journal websites for more details.
Initiatives	Author’s ChoiceTM: authors can also publish an Open Access paper in any of Karger Publisher’s subscription journals for a fee using our hybrid option; see http://www.karger.com/Services/AuthorsChoice
