Peer Review Process

1. All manuscripts received by the Journal undergo compulsory review procedure

2. When assigned a new submission, the executive secretary checks the one for its completeness and adherence to the Author Guidelines. Our journal will first check the plagiarism of a manuscript by using StrikePlagiarism after it is submitted. The high level of similarity could cause the manuscript rejection (we read the whole paper and check which part is taken from other papers).

3. Journal follows double-blind reviewing system when referees and authors do not know the names of each other.

4. Authors may recommend reviewers or indicate undesirable reviewers, but the editorial board makes the final decision on the selection of reviewers.
