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’ feedbacks. The handling Editors will reach a decision based on 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).
