Peer Review Process


The submitted manuscript will go through a double-blind peer review processes, where reviewers are unaware of the author's information, and vice versa. The review process will last for 3 to 4 weeks, depending on the readiness of the submitted manuscript.

However, the review process may be accelerated if the article quota (5 articles) for the upcoming edition has not yet been fulfilled. Early submissions with well-prepared manuscripts have the opportunity to receive faster feedback and acceptance.
