Review Process

Members of the editorial board and associate editors coordinate peer review. The manuscript will first go through an initial screening by an editor. At this first stage, the journal editor will decide if it’s suitable for the journal and whether there are any fundamental flaws. If the manuscript passes the editor’s initial screening, it is sent out for review to at least two external reviewers for peer-blind review. Based on the reviewers’ feedback and recommendations, the editor will decide whether the paper will be accepted, rejected, or invited to revise and resubmit. The editor will send out the decision letter to the authors.
