Peer Review Process

This journal uses double-blind peer review. All contributions will be primarily evaluated by a scientific Editor for suitability for the Journal’s instructions and scope. Submitted manuscripts will generally be reviewed by two or more experts who will be asked to evaluate the manuscript for publication, along with ethical and statistical Editors within a maximum of two weeks. The whole review process depends on receiving the Reviewers’ feedback. The handling Editors will reach a decision based on the Reviewers’ reports. The author can also suggest the names of potential qualified reviewers, but it is up to the editor to accept recommendations. The final decision of the Editors will be notified to the author(s).

Intentionally falsifying information for suggested reviewers, such as a false name or email address, will result in rejection of the manuscript at any publication stage. Please, visit "Peer-Review Process" for more details.

 

Publication Frequency

The journal is published quarterly (minimum 6 articles per issue) in the following periods: January–March, April–June, July–September, and October–December.
