Article Publication Workflow

Stage 1: The Editor checks the manuscript's suitability regarding the journal's focus and scope. Additionally, the manuscript's authenticity is verified using plagiarism detection software.

Stage 2: Before accepting an assignment, the reviewer must check three things — whether the manuscript matches their area of expertise, whether they have enough time available (the review process must be completed within 2 weeks), and any potential conflict of interest. If any of these conditions is not met, the reviewer reports this to the editor and recommends an alternative reviewer.

Stages 3-4: Once cleared to proceed, the reviewer gives a recommendation of accept as is, accept upon revision, or reject, based on scientific novelty, methodology, and originality.

Stage 5: The editorial team makes the final decision — the entire process, from submission to this decision, takes a total of 4–12 weeks.

Stages 6–7: The section editor communicates the decision to the author, and the Editor-in-Chief schedules publication .
