Reviewing process

Upon receiving a paper, performing initial checkouts, and adjusting it to the journal requirements and publishing codes, it goes through the process of scientific and content scrutiny.

• Reviewers, foreign or domestic, are selected based on the article’s field of research and expertise as well as the editor-in-chief’s opinion.
• Reviewers cooperate with the editor-in-chief and other editorial board members in investigating and analyzing the scientific content of a paper as well as enhancing its quality based on scientifically valid opinions.
• Upon receiving an invitation email from journal, reviewers conduct an initial assessment of the manuscript to decide whether to accept the invitation or not. This is done via an online system.
• If the reviewer declines the invitation for any reason, the journal appreciates their help finding alternative expert reviewer(s).
• After accepting the invitation, the reviewer conducts the review process, presents his specialized opinions and revisions based on scientific findings in an unbiased manner and reports the results in due time to the journal.
• Reviewers are required to observe trustworthiness and confidentiality; to ensure this, the journal handles all the necessary correspondence with the authors directly.
