Peer Review Process

The Editors first evaluate all manuscripts for initial selection. Manuscripts may be rejected at this stage when they have serious scientific flaws, poor academic language, or are outside the aims and scope of the journal.
Authors of manuscripts rejected at this stage will be informed within one month of receipt. Editors' selected manuscripts will undergo double blind review in which the author and referee remain anonymous throughout the process.
Referees are selected according to their relevant expertise. Our reviewer database is constantly updated and the journal welcomes suggestions and continues to seek for reliable referees.
