REVIEW POLICY OF THE JOURNAL
Once a manuscript is submitted, it is assigned to a Managing Editor most appropriate to handle it, based on the subject of the manuscript and the availability of the Managing Editors. If the Managing Editor determines that the manuscript is not of sufficient quality to go through the standard review process or if the manuscript’s subject is not appropriate to the journal scope, the Editor rejects the manuscript with no further processing (desk rejection).
If the Managing Editor determines that the submitted manuscript is of sufficient quality and falls within the scope of the Journal, he/she assigns the manuscript to two anonymous Reviewers for peer review. The reviewers submit their reports on the manuscripts along with their recommendation of one of the following actions to the Editor:
- Accept submission (Publish with regular check)
- Revisions required (Consider after Minor Changes)
- Resubmit for review (Consider after Major Changes)
- Decline submission (Reject: Manuscript is flawed or not sufficiently novel)
The peer-review process is double-blinded, i.e., the reviewers do not know who the authors of the manuscript are, and the authors do not have access to the information of who the peer-reviewers are. Without the significant contributions made by peer reviewers, the publication of the Journal would not be possible.
