Peer Review Process

Reviewers deal with manuscripts blindly and discuss the remarks in editorial meetings. Reviews are then sent to the corresponding author for suggested modifications and the corrected version of the manuscript will be peer-reviewed for a second time by two or three external reviewers.

Note : The turnover time for the review process is 2-8 weeks and the minimum turnover time for publication process is 2-24 weeks.

The editorial board members have the full right to cancel or accept the manuscript for publications.
