Peer Review Process

Every submitted article is independently reviewed by at least a double-blind review (peer-reviewers). Each submitted article is reviewed by at least 2 reviewers. The decision for publication, amendment, or rejection is based upon their reports/recommendations.  After being reviewed, there will be four kinds of editor decision based on the reviewers’ recommendation:

  1. Accept Submission: The submission will be accepted without revisions.
  2. Revisions Required [Minor Revision]: The submission will be accepted after minor changes have been made.
  3. Resubmit for Review [Mayor Revision]: The submission needs to be re-worked, but with significant changes, it may be accepted. It will require a second round of review, however.
  4. Decline Submission: The submission will not be published in the journal.

» Article Revision

The articles sent back to the authors for revision should be returned to the editor without delay. The revised article returned later than 15 days will be considered a New Submissions. The revised article can be sent to the editorial through the Online Submission Interface.
