Authors should prepare their manuscripts in accordance with the "Instructions for Authors" provided by the journal and submit them through the journal's online submission system. It is important to follow these guidelines to expedite the review and evaluation process.
Submission and Initial Evaluation
Upon submission, the manuscript will undergo an initial review by the journal's experts within one week to ensure adherence to the journal's guidelines and relevance of the subject matter. An initial assessment will be conducted to evaluate the quality, alignment with the journal’s aims and scope, and the originality of the manuscript. Manuscripts that pass this stage will proceed to the peer review process. Those that do not meet the criteria will be either rejected or returned to the authors for minor revisions.
Peer Review Process
The specialized editor will assign the initially approved manuscripts to two expert reviewers. If both reviewers reject the manuscript, it will be rejected. If both reviewers recommend major revisions, the manuscript will be returned to the authors for substantial changes. If one reviewer suggests major revisions and the other rejects it, a third reviewer will be consulted for a final decision. Authors will revise the manuscript based on the reviewers' feedback and resubmit it.
The time to acceptance depends on the extent of the requested revisions, the reviewers' comments, and the speed and accuracy with which the authors make the revisions.
Revised Manuscript Evaluation
The revised manuscript will be sent to one of the original reviewers to ensure that all comments have been addressed. Based on the reviewer’s feedback, the manuscript may be accepted, rejected, or returned for further revisions.
Final Decision
The final decision regarding the acceptance of the manuscript will be made by the editor-in-chief and the specialized editor. Accepted manuscripts will undergo final editing and proofreading to ensure clarity and consistency.
