2. Review Process

Each submitted manuscript undergoes the following procedures:

  1. Initial Editorial Screening

    • Scope relevance, formatting compliance, and plagiarism detection.

    • Submissions failing to meet basic criteria may be rejected before peer review.

  2. Assignment to Reviewers

    • A minimum of two independent reviewers with subject expertise are assigned.

    • Reviewers evaluate the manuscript’s scientific merit, methodology, significance, and clarity.

  3. Decision Outcomes
