3. Initial Editorial Screening

• Submitted manuscripts are first reviewed by the Editorial Office to check for compliance with the journal’s scope, formatting guidelines, and ethical requirements.
• Manuscripts not meeting the basic requirements may be returned to authors for corrections before peer review.

4. Peer Review Process

• Eligible manuscripts proceed to double-blind peer review, where both reviewers and authors remain anonymous.
• Typically, at least two independent experts evaluate the manuscript for scientific quality, originality, and clarity.

5. Editorial Decision

Based on reviewer feedback and editorial assessment, one of the following decisions will be communicated:

• Accept – The manuscript is ready for publication.
• Minor Revision – Authors must address minor issues before acceptance.
• Major Revision – Authors are invited to substantially revise and resubmit.
• Reject – The manuscript does not meet the journal’s requirements.

6. Revision and Resubmission

• Authors must submit a revised manuscript along with a point-by-point response to reviewer comments.
• Revised submissions may be re-reviewed by the original reviewers or directly assessed by the handling editor.

7. Final Acceptance and Production

• Once accepted, manuscripts undergo copyediting, typesetting, and proofreading.
• Authors will have an opportunity to review proofs before final publication.
• Articles are published online as open access for immediate global visibility.
