Peer review process

The editorial board will check the scope of the article. If the article is within the journal's scope and passes the preliminary evaluation criteria, the author must pay the fees as announced by the journal. Following this, the editorial board will present the article to at least three expert reviewers from various institutions, who are not affiliated with the author's institution. The editorial board will select reviewers based on their knowledge, ability, and expertise relevant to the article. The article review process is Double blinded, meaning the reviewers do not know the author's identity, and the author does not know the reviewers' identities. After receiving the review results, the author must make the necessary revisions based on the reviewers' and editorial board's recommendations to ensure the highest accuracy and completeness of the academic work. If the work is verified to be accurate according to the journal's requirements, the process will proceed to the next steps for publication.
