Peer Review Process

Authors should present their papers honestly without fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, or inappropriate data manipulation. Submitted papers are evaluated by anonymous referees for contribution, originality, relevance, and presentation. The Editor shall inform you of the results of the review as soon as possible, hopefully in 10 to 12 weeks.
 
This journal operates a conventional double-blind reviewing policy in which the reviewer's name is always concealed from the submitting author. The acceptance or rejection of manuscript submitted by author(s) will be decided by the editorial boards, which is based on the review results. The first screening is the content/scope as well as the novelty from the article submitted, which is done by the editor. After passing the first screening, to get fair reviewing process, our journal usually proceeds each article with at least 2 reviewers: 1 internal reviewer (from Editorial Member) and the others are external reviewers. There are no communications between authors and reviewers during the reviewing process. Also, there are no communications between authors and editors regarding the rejection decision. In order to shorten the review process and respond quickly to authors, the Editors may triage a submission and come to a decision without sending the paper for external review. The Editors’ decision is final and no correspondence can be entered into concerning manuscripts considered unsuitable for publication in this journal. All correspondence, including notification of the Editors’ decision and requests for revisions, will be sent by email.

The steps for the reviewing process are in the following figure.
