Peer Review Process

The Editorial Board will select every article that goes to the editorial staff through the Initial Review process. The initial review included an examination of compliance with the scope and author guidelines. Then, the article will be sent to the Peer reviewer and proceed to the following review stage through the Double-Blind Peer Review Process. The Editorial Board will seek other opinions, such as adding a third reviewer when necessary. The article will also be checked for its plagiarism indication using PlagScan.

The final decision of article acceptance is made by the Editor in Chief (together with the Editorial Board in an editorial board meeting) considering the reviewer's critical comments. The articles that require revisions will be returned to the author for revision. The editor will issue a LoA after the revision is declared appropriate. Articles that are declined will also be immediately informed to the author.
