Review and Editorial Process
Corresponding authors are responsible for submitting manuscripts and facilitating revisions throughout the review process. Submitted manuscripts are first examined anonymously by the Editorial Board to determine alignment with the journal’s aims, scope, and scholarly standards.
Qualified internal and external referees are selected according to their expertise and relevance to the manuscript’s subject area. The Editor-in-Chief oversees reviewer selection, manuscript assignment, and compliance with the journal’s double-blind review protocol.
Authors must remove identifying information such as names, affiliations, and acknowledgments during the review stage to preserve anonymity and ensure impartial evaluation.
