2. Plagiarism Check

Manuscripts are screened using plagiarism detection software.

3. Double-Blind Peer Review

Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two reviewers under a double-blind review process, where both authors’ and reviewers’ identities are kept confidential.

4. Review Decision

The final review outcome may include:

  • Accepted without revision

  • Accepted with minor revision

  • Major revision required

  • Rejected

5. Final Decision

The Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision based on reviewers’ recommendations.

The review process is conducted objectively, independently, and professionally.
