Peer-Review Policy

Peer review is a critical component in the publication process. It plays a crucial function in preserving the integrity of published material and promoting discovery. We are dedicated to the timely assessment and publishing of completely approved manuscripts in journals. To ensure a high-quality publishing, all contributions are subjected to a strict reviewing procedure. Characteristics of the peer review process are as follows:

  • Simultaneous submissions of the same manuscript to different journals is not acceptable
  • Papers will be refereed by experts as suggested by the editorial board.
  • All publication decisions are made by the journal's Editors-in-Chief on the basis of the referees' reports. Authors of papers that are not accepted are notified promptly.
  • All submitted manuscripts are treated as confidential documents. We expect our Board of Reviewing Editors and reviewers to treat manuscripts as confidential material as well.
  • Editors and reviewers involved in the review process should disclose conflicts of interest resulting from direct competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors, and remove oneself from cases in which such conflicts preclude an objective evaluation
  • Our peer review process is confidential and identities of reviewers cannot be revealed.
