Editorial Process
Recently submitted manuscript primarily goes through plagiarism check. Next step is their screening by the editors: the manuscript might get rejected if it is found to be of insufficient quality, outside focus and scope of the Journal or if they are considered not original.
Editors-in-chief have full authority over the entire editorial content of the journal and the timing of publication of that content with no interference from journal owners.
Editors should defend the confidentiality of authors and peer reviewers (names and reviewer comments) in accordance with ICMJE policy.
Author will receive prompt acknowledgement of submission of articles. If acknowledgement is not received within two weeks, please contact the Administrative Office, preferably by e-mail.
Peer Review Policy
Peer review is the critical assessment of manuscripts submitted to journals by experts who are usually not part of the editorial staff. The reviewer assesses the manuscript for quality, originality, validity and whether appropriate method has been followed.
We adhere to the Committee on Publication Ethics Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers policy and ICJME recommendations for peer review.
Articles that meet minimal requirements are assigned to three or more reviewers. Peer review process is double blind: identity of reviewers and authors is not revealed to one another.
