To all interested scholars and authors, due to the sheer volume of articles we have had to manage recenty and a backlog that is increasingly piling up, we have decided to make the difficult choice of temporarily discontinuing further admission of submissions from 1 August 2025 onwards, with plans of reopening the system on 15 January 2026 (tentative; subject to change).

 

We recognize this may cause a significant amount of inconvenience to our future authors and their publication plans. However, we also owe it to our authors who have been with us patiently to see to it that their submissions receive the critical attention they justly deserve. We apologize in advance for the impending disruption of services, but hope you understand our dedication to quality and academic excellence.

 

Thank you for your kind attention and understanding.
