PeerReviewPolicy

All submissions received will be selected by the editorial board. Selected manuscripts will be sent to reviewers. The reviewers will examine the feasibility of the manuscript. Peer review is carried out by blind review to ensure objectivity in assessing the feasibility of the manuscript. Reviewers are given the opportunity to decide whether the manuscript is: accepted without revision, accepted with minor revisions, accepted with major revisions, or rejected. The accepted manuscript will be edited and published.

Criteria for Review Reviewers will evaluate manuscripts based on the following criteria:

  • Originality
  • Relevance to the field
  • Methodological rigor
  • Contribution to existing knowledge
  • Clarity of presentation
  • Review Outcome: Reviewers will decide whether the manuscript is:

    • Accepted without revision
    • Accepted with minor revisions
    • Accepted with major revisions
    • Rejected
  • Review Timeline: The typical review process takes approximately 4-6 weeks. Timelines may vary depending on the availability of reviewers and the complexity of the manuscript.

Conflict of Interest

  • Disclosure: Reviewers and authors are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could bias their judgment. Conflicts of interest must be reported to the editorial board, which will handle them to maintain the integrity of the review process.

Publication Ethics

  • Standards: The journal adheres to strict ethical standards. Plagiarism, data fabrication, and image manipulation are not tolerated. Authors must ensure the originality of their work and appropriately cite sources.
