Peer Review Process

The editorial board members and associate editors oversee the peer review process. Initially, an editor will conduct a preliminary screening of the manuscript to determine its suitability for the journal and to identify any major issues. If the manuscript passes this first evaluation, it is then sent to at least two external reviewers for a blind peer review. The editor will make a decision—based on the reviewers' feedback—whether to accept, reject, or request revisions and resubmission. The editor will then communicate the decision to the authors through a decision letter.
