Peer Review Process

Any manuscript submitted to this journal undergoes a thorough initial evaluation by an editor. This evaluation assesses the manuscript's suitability with the journal's aim and scope, as well as the completion of its elements, such as the IMRAD structure, the clarity of tables and figures, proper referencing, and the absence of plagiarism. If we find any flaws at this stage, we will notify the author. Once there are no flaws, we send the manuscript for peer review. More than one peer reviewer evaluates one manuscript. In the case of a disagreement among the peer reviewers, the editorial board has the authority to reach a conclusion. The peer review process is double-blind, in which the authors and the peer reviewers do not know each other. Peer reviewers' comments are delivered anonymously to the author for revision. The revised manuscript will be discussed in the regular meeting of the editorial board, where the final decision regarding its publication eligibility is made. Once a revised manuscript is regarded as eligible for publication, the corresponding author will be notified about the subsequent stages. The whole peer review process takes place for approximately 8–10 weeks.
