submitted, or already accepted for publication elsewhere.
Editorial and Peer Review
Editorial and Peer Review
On submission, all submitted manuscripts are reviewed initially for suitability for formal review and any
plagiarism. Only such manuscripts as show sufficient originality, without serious scientific or technical
flaws, and providing a significant message will be sent to two or more expert reviewers for formal peer-review.
Manuscripts unlikely to be of interest to the readers of the Journal will be liable to be rejected. The journal
follows a double-blind review process, where the reviewers and authors are unaware of each other’s
identity. The comments and suggestions received from reviewers are conveyed to the corresponding
author. If required, the author is required to respond to reviewers’ comments and submit a revised version
of the manuscript. Articles accepted would be copy edited for grammar, punctuation, print style, and
format.
