There is a system of a double “blind” peer-review in the journal. 

A peer-reviewer has three options after examining materials: 1) to publish in the author’s edition; 2) to publish with minor alternations made by the editorial board; 3) to send an author’s manuscript back (if it needs improving; the author can send the improved manuscript again); 4) to reject the publication (if a manuscript doesn’t meet the editorial policy, ethical norms, requirements for manuscripts).
