Peer Review Process
Manuscripts will be firstly screened by the editorial team. If a manuscript is of insufficient quality, it may be rejected at this stage. However, if approved, it will be passed onto two more anonymous reviewers according to their expertise. The double-blind review process will be used. The editorial team reserves the right to accept or reject articles and unpublished manuscripts will not be returned.
All submitted manuscripts undergo a two-step review process:
- Internal Review – The Editor-in-Chief and/or Editors conduct an initial assessment to ensure that the manuscript meets the journal’s mission and scope, adheres to the double-anonymous review format, and meets the required quality standards for external evaluation. Manuscripts that fail to meet these criteria are not forwarded for further review.
- External Review – Manuscripts that pass the internal review are sent for double-anonymous peer review by two experts in the field. Once the review is complete, authors receive feedback from the external reviewers along with a decision: accept, minor revision, major revision, or reject.
