PEER REVIEW POLICY

To maintain a high-quality publication, each manuscript submission undergoes a rigorous double-blind peer review process in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. All submitted manuscripts are treated as confidential documents. We expect our Editorial Board and reviewers to treat manuscripts as confidential material as well.

Starting with initial screening by Managing Editor and if it meets the journal criteria, it will then be sent to Chief Editor 2 for evaluation process. If found to be quality, meets the aims and scopes of the journal and worth reviewing then the manuscripts will be sent to two reviewers as suggested by the editorial board.

Editors and reviewers involved in the review process should disclose conflicts of interest resulting from direct competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors, and remove oneself from cases in which such conflicts preclude an objective evaluation. Privileged information or ideas that are obtained through peer review must not be used for competitive gain.

The reviewing process may take up to 2–3 weeks from the date of receipt of the article. Where manuscript revision is required, authors are urged to ensure that the necessary corrections are made before the manuscript can be accepted for production. Reviewers have assessed your submission and feel that it has potential for publication. Therefore, it has been decided to accept the manuscript with a minor revision, which should be completed within 15 days. In cases of a major revision, the revision period is 30 days.

All publication decisions are made by the journal’s Chief Editor 1 on the basis of the referees’ reports. Authors of papers that are not accepted are notified promptly.Should be noted that simultaneous submissions of the same manuscript to different journals will not be tolerated.
