This journal follows a double anonymized review process. Your submission will initially be assessed by our editors to determine suitability for publication in this journal. If your submission is deemed suitable, it will typically be sent to a minimum of two reviewers for an independent expert assessment of the scientific quality. The decision as to whether your article is accepted or rejected will be taken by our editors. This decision is final.
Our editors are not involved in making decisions about papers which:
they have written themselves.
have been written by family members or colleagues.
relate to products or services in which they have an interest.
Any such submissions will be subject to the journal's usual procedures and peer review will be handled independently of the editor involved and their research group.
All manuscripts are reviewed by the editorial office. Any papers which fail to meet the basic standards of the journal will be desk-rejected for reasons like out of scope, ethical conflicts, high similarities, lack of originality, flaws in research design or methods, etc. The editorial office will reassign selected papers to the Editor-in-chief.

After at least two reviewers give their reviews and comments, the Editor-in-chief (or the assigned Editor) provides feedback to the authors, based on reviewer comments and his own review comments.
When the author submits the revised manuscript, the assigned editor and Editor-in-chief will collaborate to make a final decision.
