All submitted manuscripts are first screened by the editorial team to assess their relevance to the journal’s focus and scope, compliance with author guidelines, and originality. Manuscripts must have a similarity index of no more than 20%. Submissions that fall outside the scope or contain major methodological or ethical issues may be rejected at this stage.
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are reviewed through a double-blind peer review process by at least two independent reviewers. Reviewers assess the manuscript’s originality, methodology, clarity, scientific contribution, conclusions, and references.
Reviewers’ comments are sent to the corresponding author for revision. Authors must submit the revised manuscript within a maximum of 30 days. Failure to submit the revision within this timeframe, without prior communication, will result in the manuscript being declined.
Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the editorial board makes the final decision, which is communicated by the editor to the corresponding author.
