The manuscript will be sent to at least two reviewers and one member of the editorial advisory board. Once the reviews are received, the editorial committee of Geologica Acta will decide if the article is acceptable, and if so return it to the corresponding author for correction. If the article is unacceptable, then it will be rejected. The authors of accepted articles must then revise the manuscript according to the comments of the reviewers and the editorial committee and return it to the editor. When the manuscript has been revised to the specifications of the editorial committee it will be accepted for publication.             Article status Once the revised manuscript has been received and accepted for publication, the corresponding author can obtain the status of the article by asking the Editorial Assistant.
