From submission to publication
Screening
The editorial office checks scope, completeness and ethical compliance. All submissions undergo initial editorial screening. Manuscripts that meet the journal’s scope and minimum requirements proceed to independent peer review.
Peer review
Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. Manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent subject-matter experts.
Decision
Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal.
Publication
Accepted manuscripts go to production. The article processing charge of USD 1,200 becomes payable only after acceptance; withdrawal after submission is subject to the journal's withdrawal policy. See Article Processing Charges.
Common questions
Which route should I use?

No. The article processing charge is payable only after acceptance; withdrawal after submission is subject to the journal's withdrawal policy.
