We are dedicated to prompt evaluation and publication of entirely accepted papers in journals to maintain a high-quality publication, and all submissions undergo a strict review process.

Reviewers are selected from the Reviewers board according to their expertise. Referees are asked to evaluate the manuscript's uniqueness, methodology, contribution to the literature, presentation of results, conclusions, and proper referencing of relevant prior studies. Reviewers might accept the manuscript or reject the manuscript, which might require a revision for style and content.

Once Revised manuscripts are returned after 25 days are considered to re-review should be initiated be done from the initial stage; at the time, we will consider making it into a new submission. The Possible Decessions are Accepted, Accepted after Minor Revision(Authors should resubmit the revised manuscript within one week.), or Rejected.
