Review Process
All submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer review process to ensure quality and scientific validity. Our review process is designed to be fair, transparent, and constructive.
Types of Peer Review
We employ double-blind peer review, where both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other. This ensures unbiased evaluation based solely on scientific merit.
