Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to the journal undergo a peer-review process consisting of several stages.

First, a manuscript is accepted for consideration only if it has not been previously published or submitted for publication elsewhere.

Second, the editorial office evaluates whether the manuscript fits the Focus and Scope of the journal.

At the next stage, the manuscript is checked for compliance with the journal’s Author Guidelines, including formatting, structure, and ethical requirements.

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are reviewed by at least two independent reviewers who are experts in the relevant field.

Based on the subject of the manuscript, it is assigned to an appropriate editor (referee), who carefully evaluates the reviewers’ reports and the manuscript itself. The editor prepares a recommendation, which may include one of the following decisions: Accept Submission, Revisions Required, Resubmit for Review, or Reject Submission.

The editorial board communicates the reviewers’ comments and the editorial decision to the author(s) by e-mail. If revisions are requested, the author(s) may submit a revised version addressing the reviewers’ comments. Once the editor is satisfied that all issues have been adequately resolved, the manuscript may be accepted for publication.

The journal applies a single-blind peer-review process, in which reviewers are aware of the authors’ identities, while the authors do not know the identities of the reviewers.
