Peer Review Process

1. The submitted manuscript is reviewed by the executive secretary for compliance with the journal’s requirements and formatting guidelines.

2. After the initial check, the Editor-in-Chief (or Deputy Editor-in-Chief) either forwards the manuscript to the section editor or rejects it.

3. The section editor sends the manuscript for peer review. Based on the reviews received, the section editor, in consultation with the Editor-in-Chief (or Deputy Editor-in-Chief), decides whether the manuscript requires revision or should be rejected.

4. The revised manuscript, along with the author's response to the reviewers' comments, is sent back to the reviewer for re-evaluation. The peer review process continues until all comments (recommendations) are addressed, after which the section editor, together with the Editor-in-Chief (or Deputy Editor-in-Chief), makes a final decision regarding the manuscript.

5. Once accepted, the manuscript undergoes editing (proofreading), typesetting, author proofing, and final publication.

The journal employs a single-blind peer review process, in which the authors do not know the identity of the reviewers.
