The peer review process is an objective system at the core of high-quality scholarly publishing. Our referees play a crucial role in maintaining the standards of the journal. All submitted manuscripts undergo a structured and rigorous peer review procedure.

Initial Manuscript Evaluation

The Editor performs an initial screening of all manuscripts. Exceptional manuscripts may be accepted at this stage. Others meeting minimum criteria are forwarded to at least two subject experts. Authors of rejected manuscripts are informed promptly.

Type of Peer Review

  • Single-blind review: Reviewer identity remains anonymous.
  • Double-blind review: Both reviewer and author identities are concealed.
  • Open review: Identities of both reviewer and author are known.

Reviewer Selection

Reviewers are selected based on subject expertise. Authors may suggest reviewers, but the final selection rests with the editorial board.
