Review Policy

All manuscripts are subject to a double-blind peer review process. The identities of both authors and reviewers are withheld throughout the review. Manuscripts are first assessed by the Editor-in-Chief for scope, originality, and compliance with submission guidelines. Manuscripts meeting the initial criteria are assigned to a minimum of two independent reviewers with relevant subject expertise.

Authors will be informed of the outcome of the review process, which may result in one of the following decisions:

▪ Accept as submitted

▪ Accept with minor revisions

▪ Major revision required

▪ Reject

Authors whose manuscripts require revision will be provided with reviewer feedback and will be expected to respond within the timeframe specified by the Editor-in-Chief. Revised manuscripts must be accompanied by a detailed response letter addressing each reviewer comment.
