The journal Limba, literatura, folclor applies the method of peer review – the evaluation of each article by two independent reviewers designated by the editorial board. For a complex evaluation, there has been elaborated the Review Form that offers the reviewer the possibility to express one’s opinion about the standard criteria (the structure of the scientific article, language style, graphical presentation, scientific quality of the material presented for publication) demanded for a scientific article.
