Manuscripts that pass the preliminary evaluation are forwarded by the Editor-in-Chief to the designated Section Editor, thereby initiating the process (the appointment of the Section Editor takes up to 20 days).
The Section Editor appoints two experts in the relevant field as reviewers and manages the evaluation through a double-blind peer review process. The reviewers have 20 days to complete their evaluations. The Section Editor compiles the reviewers’ reports along with their own assessment into a final report and submits it to the journal.
Manuscripts receiving a positive final evaluation proceed directly to the publication stage. However, if revisions are requested in the editorial report, authors must submit their revised manuscripts within 20 days. Failure to revise within this timeframe results in the manuscript being removed from the editorial process.
Manuscripts approved for publication by the Section Editor are queued for publication according to their submission date.
