The journal employs a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the quality and scientific validity of published research.

Upon submission, manuscripts undergo an initial editorial screening to assess their suitability for the journal's scope and adherence to guidelines. If deemed appropriate, the manuscript is assigned to at least two independent reviewers who are experts in the relevant field and this step takes 1 week.

Reviewers evaluate the manuscript's originality, methodology, data analysis, conclusions, and overall clarity. The review process typically takes 2-4 weeks, during which reviewers provide detailed feedback and recommendations.

Authors are then given a specific timeframe of 1 week to address the reviewers' comments and revise their manuscript accordingly.

The revised manuscript is re-evaluated by the editor and reviewers, who determine the final decision: acceptance, conditional acceptance with further revisions, or rejection. The entire peer-review process, from initial submission to final decision, usually takes 1-2 months.
