The journal employs a single-blind peer-review model, in which reviewers are aware of the authors’ identities, while authors do not have access to the identities of the reviewers. This model is intended to support informed and expert evaluation while maintaining reviewer independence.
Manuscripts that pass the initial editorial screening are assigned to a handling editor, who oversees the peer-review process. The handling editor selects and invites independent reviewers based on subject expertise and relevance to the manuscript. Reviewers are expected to provide fair, constructive, and timely assessments of the work.
The number of reviewers assigned to a manuscript may vary depending on the nature, complexity, and scope of the submission. Where necessary, additional reviewers may be invited to support editorial evaluation.
All manuscripts under review are treated as confidential documents. Reviewers are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest and to decline review assignments where such conflicts exist. Information obtained through the peer-review process must not be used for personal advantage or shared with third parties.
Reviewer reports are considered advisory in nature. Final decisions regarding the acceptance, revision, or rejection of a manuscript are made by the editorial team, based on reviewer feedback, editorial judgment, and compliance with the journal’s policies.
