Review Process

Manuscripts will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and contribution. Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.
 
All submissions will go through a centralised database for classification and internal administration purposes. Once classified, papers will be directed to the appropriate Editor. All submissions are read by at least one of the Editors. Every effort is made to judge the merits of manuscripts. The Editor will refer the manuscript to 2-3 external reviewers in a full double-blind peer review process and will send a summary of review back to the author(s).
 
Editors have full authority to make one of the following decisions:
- Publish without modification
- Accept with revision
- Accept with major revision
- Reject
 
Please note: An invitation to accept with major revision does not imply a promise of subsequent publication, however, it is an indication of a positive reaction from reviewers and there is a possibility of publication. Editors may take note of comments and advice made by reviewers that are not intended to be shared with authors. For manuscripts resulting in the decision to "accept with revision", only the editor in chief will review the revised manuscript before making the final accept/reject decision.
