Peer Review Process

All manuscripts are reviewed by an editor and/ members of the Editorial Board to assess whether the manuscript is fit for outside review. Generally, manuscripts are sent to two reviewers, and if required, to a third reviewer. Decisions will be made as rapidly as possible, and the journal strives to return reviewers’ comments to authors within 4 ½ weeks. Manuscripts sent to authors for revision should be returned within 2 weeks; otherwise, they will be treated as new submissions. The Editorial Board including copy editors will re-review manuscripts that are accepted pending revision. Best efforts are made to publish manuscripts online within 8 weeks after submission.
