Manuscript Review Process
Ensuring objectivity, transparency, and the highest academic standards
1
Step 1: Submission
Manuscripts are submitted directly through the online management system or the Journal's email. Manuscripts that fully meet the Submission Guidelines will be received and forwarded to the Editorial Board for preliminary screening.

Step 2: Preliminary Screening
The Editorial Board conducts an initial review to assess compliance with formatting and content regulations. At this stage, a manuscript may be rejected if it is out of scope, does not meet minimum quality standards, or shows signs of scientific integrity violations (plagiarism).

Step 3: Peer Review Assignment
Manuscripts that pass the preliminary screening are assigned to appropriate experts by the Editor-in-Chief. The Journal employs a double-blind review process: the identities of both authors and reviewers are kept strictly confidential.

Step 4: Expert Peer Review
Reviewers provide comments and suggestions directly on the manuscript and complete a specialized review form. The final conclusion focuses on recommending: Accept, Revise and Resubmit, or Decline.

Step 5: Editorial Decision
The Editor-in-Chief evaluates all comments and recommendations. In cases of conflicting reviews, the Editor-in-Chief may make a final decision or invite a third reviewer to ensure impartiality.

Step 6: Editing and Finalization
Following approval, the manuscript is returned to the authors for revisions as requested by the reviewers. The content and copy-editing phase may involve several rounds (2nd, 3rd, etc.) until it meets the Journal’s academic standards.

Step 7: Publication Decision
Once all revision requirements are completed, the Editor-in-Chief performs a final quality check and issues the official decision for publication.
* All communications during the review process are conducted via the Journal's online management system.
