Manuscripts that do not adhere to our ethical criteria are rejected automatically, when they do not suit to the focus of the journal.
  2. Reviewer assignment. The editor then selects at least one of the following relevant reviewers and initiates the peer review process for manuscripts that pass the initial screening.
  3. Peer review. Throughout this phase, reviewers will evaluate the manuscript's substance and make recommendations to the editor.
  4. Initial decision. As both reviewers have made their comments, the paper is either rejected, requested for minor or substantial adjustments, or approved as is.

  5. Revision. A revised manuscript is returned to the submitting author, who has up to four weeks to complete the corrections.

This process is repeated if the adjustments are deemed insufficient.
