Review Process



Manuscripts will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and contribution.  Submitted manuscript must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.

All submissions will go through centralized 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.  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 all accept with revision, only editorial board will review the revised manuscript before giving the final accept/reject decision.
