 PEER REVIEW AND EDITORIAL PROCEDURES 

All manuscripts undergo thorough peer review. Reviewers provide detailed feedback on strengths, weaknesses, scientific rigor, methodology, originality, significance, and clarity. They may recommend additional analyses or experiments if necessary. The editor makes the final decision based on reviewers’ comments. Possible outcomes include: 

  • Accept
  • Accept with minor revisions
  • Major revisions required
  • Revise and resubmit
  • Reject
  • Submit elsewhere

 When revisions are required, authors will be asked to address all reviewer comments and resubmit both the revised manuscript and a correction table for further evaluation. The peer-review process is confidential and double-anonymous. Reviewers’ identities are not revealed to authors, and authors’ identities are not revealed to reviewers. This ensures fairness, objectivity, and evaluation based solely on scientific merit. Overall, peer review is essential in maintaining the integrity and quality of scholarly publishing by ensuring the dissemination of reliable, high-quality research. 

EDITORIAL DECISION 

After completing all required procedures, the editorial office will issue an official acceptance letter confirming that your manuscript has been accepted for publication.
