Peer Review Process
OVERVIEW
All submissions can be made using the online journal system. Every submitted manuscript is first checked and evaluated by the editor to ensure it aligns with the journal's author guidelines. Manuscripts that do not meet these guidelines will be rejected without further review. Those that meet the guidelines will undergo a plagiarism check. If the Similarity Index is within acceptable limits, the manuscript will proceed to a double-blind review, where both the authors and reviewers remain anonymous. Each article will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. After the review, the article will be returned to the authors for revisions. The final decision is made by the editors based on the reviewers' recommendations. The editor has full authority to make any decisions after receiving reviews and recommendations from reviewers as follows:
- Manuscript can be accepted without change
- Manuscript can be accepted under minor revisions (editors will check)
- The manuscript can be accepted under major revisions with the necessarily changes recommended by the reviewer
- Manuscript is rejected
