Peer review

This

journal follows a single anonymized review process. Your submission

will initially be assessed by our editors to determine suitability for

publication in this journal. If your submission is deemed suitable, it

will typically be sent to a minimum of two reviewers for an independent

expert assessment of the scientific quality. The decision as to whether

your article is accepted or rejected will be taken by our editors. This

decision is final.

Our editors are not involved in making decisions about papers which:

they have written themselves.

have been written by family members or colleagues.

relate to products or services in which they have an interest.

Any

such submissions will be subject to the journal's usual procedures and

peer review will be handled independently of the editor involved and

their research group.

All

manuscripts are reviewed by the editorial office. Any papers which fail

to meet the basic standards of the journal will be desk-rejected for

reasons like out of scope, ethical conflicts, high similarities, lack of

originality, flaws in research design or methods, etc. The editorial

office will reassign selected papers to the Editor-in-chief.

The

Editor-in-chief will invite multiple reviewers to review the paper or

assign an editorial board member to invite reviewers to review this

paper.

After

at least two reviewers give their reviews and comments, the

Editor-in-chief (or the assigned Editor) provides feedback to the

authors, based on reviewer comments and his own review comments.

When

the author submits the revised manuscript, the assigned editor and

Editor-in-chief will collaborate to make a final decision.

For

submissions from the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editors, Guest

Editor(s), other journal Board members, and authors who have conflicts

of interest with them, we ensure that the paper is handled

confidentially by a different team member.

For

submissions to Special Issues; if there are conflicts of interest

between the Guest Editor(s) and authors, the submissions will be handled

by another Editor from the Editorial Board who will manage the peer

review process and make the decision whether to accept or reject the

paper after peer review.
