Peer Review Process

The editor-in-chief will assign the manuscript to the Board Editor for further handling. The Managing Editor will request at least two judicial review experts to review the research article manuscript. All manuscripts are subject to double-blind peer-review; both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process to meet standards of academic excellence. 

The following are the most common decisions:

• Accepted, as it is. The journal will publish the paper in its original form;
• Accepted by Minor Revisions, the journal will publish the paper and ask the author to make small corrections (let authors revise within the stipulated time);
• Accepted by Major Revisions, the journal will publish the paper provided the authors make the changes suggested by the reviewers and editors (let authors revise within the stipulated time);
• Rejected (outright rejection), the journal will not publish or reconsider the paper even if the authors make major revisions.
