Peer Review Process
Submitted manuscripts are screened using iThenticate to detect and prevent plagiarism. The acceptable similarity index ranges between 20%, provided that proper citation practices are followed by the author(s).
Following the initial screening, the Editor evaluates the manuscript in accordance with the journal’s scope and focus. Manuscripts that meet the basic requirements are then forwarded to at least two independent reviewers under a double-blind peer review process. Reviewers assess the scientific substance of the manuscript, including its relevance, originality, clarity, methodological soundness, and coherence with the journal’s focus. Both Editors and Reviewers may provide constructive suggestions to improve the quality of the manuscript.
Editors and Reviewers are also authorized to make minor revisions related to spelling, writing style, and grammar without altering the core scientific content of the manuscript.
The overall review and publication process is designed to be completed within approximately 3 months (12 weeks) from submission to publication, depending on the timeliness of revisions by the author(s).
