QUALITY CHECK

The manuscript undergoes an initial quality check, which includes verifying author affiliations, contact details, conducting a plagiarism check, and confirming ethical committee approval, if applicable.

ASSIGNING SUBJECT EDITORS

Once the initial quality check is complete, the managing editors assign the manuscript to the appropriate subject editorial board—who are familiar with your research area. The subject editors review your work, and if satisfied, they will assign an appropriate peer reviewer to evaluate your manuscript.

PEER REVIEW PROCESS

The reviewer will examine the quality of your work, including the problem statement, objectives, methods and materials, as well as interpretation and implications.

DECISION

Once the review is completed, the reviewer reports to the editor, who will decide whether to accept the manuscript, request minor/major revisions, or reject the manuscript due to unresolved concerns. If rejected the manuscript, will be returned to the author.
