Editorial screening
Editors check scope, completeness, presentation, ethical declarations and basic scholarly readiness. Manuscripts outside the journal scope or below minimum standards may be declined without external review.
Independent review, documented decisions.
Our review workflow is designed to be fair, confidential and relevant to the manuscript’s field.
Reviewer assignment
Suitable manuscripts are assigned to independent reviewers with relevant expertise. Reviewers must disclose conflicts of interest and keep manuscripts confidential.
Recommendation and revision
Authors receive a consolidated editorial decision and should respond to each substantive comment. A revised manuscript may return to the same reviewers.
- Accept without changes
- Minor revision
- Major revision
- Decline with reasons
Final editorial decision
Editors consider reviewer reports, author responses and journal policy. Reviewer recommendations inform the decision, but final responsibility remains with the journal editor.
