Peer Review Process

All submitted manuscripts will be evaluated first by the editors. Manuscripts that do not fit the focus and scope of our journal are immediately rejected without external review. Manuscripts that are thought to be of potential interest to our readers are sent to double-blind reviewers. The editor then makes a decision based on the reviewer's recommendation from several possibilities: rejected, requires major revision, requires minor revision, or accepted.
