The submitted manuscripts to this journal will be peer-reviewed by at least two or more expert reviewers from the Peer-Reviewers Team with a double-blind review process. The reviewers provide valuable scientific comments that improve the contents of the manuscript. Sometimes (if required), a third peer reviewer is needed to give critical comments on the submitted manuscript. The review process used in this journal is a blind review system.

According to reviewers' critical comments, the Editor in Chief and/or Editor (along with the Editorial Board, if necessary) make the final decision regarding manuscript acceptance. The final decision on the manuscript is solely based on the Editor's final review, which considers peer-reviewers comments (but not solely those of the reviewer).

The Editor in Chief will take into account the order of accepted dates, the geographic distribution of authors, and a thematic issue when publishing accepted articles, including assigning the article to the published issues.
