Editorial Workflow

Every manuscript undergoes the following editorial process:

1. Technical Screening

The Editorial Office checks the submission for completeness, formatting, and compliance with journal requirements.

2. Editorial Assessment

The Editor evaluates whether the manuscript falls within the journal's scope and meets the journal's scientific and ethical standards.

Manuscripts that do not meet the minimum requirements may be declined without external peer review.

3. Similarity Screening

All submissions may undergo plagiarism and similarity assessment before peer review.

4. Double-Blind Peer Review

Suitable manuscripts are assigned to independent expert reviewers.

Reviewer identities remain confidential, and authors' identities are concealed throughout the review process.

5. Editorial Decision

Based on reviewer recommendations, one of the following decisions will be made:

  • Accept
  • Minor Revision
  • Major Revision
  • Reject

Where revisions are requested, authors should submit a revised manuscript together with a detailed response to reviewer comments.

6. Acceptance

Once the manuscript satisfies all scientific, editorial, and ethical requirements, the corresponding author will receive an official Acceptance Letter.

7. Article Processing Charges (APC)

No Article Processing Charges (APCs) are collected during manuscript submission or peer review.

If the manuscript is accepted for publication, the corresponding author will receive an APC invoice together with payment instructions.

Publication will proceed only after APC payment has been successfully confirmed or an approved waiver has been granted, where applicable.

8. Copyediting & Production

Accepted manuscripts undergo:

  • Copyediting
  • Language review
  • Layout formatting
  • Proof preparation

Authors will receive page proofs for final review before publication.

9. Online Publication

After completion of production and final approval, the article will be:

  • Assigned to the appropriate Volume and Issue
  • Published online
  • Assigned a DOI (where applicable)
  • Made permanently available through the journal website

Important Notes

  • Submission does not guarantee publication.

  • APC payment does not influence editorial decisions.
  • Manuscripts may be rejected at any stage if serious ethical concerns or policy violations are identified.
