Blind Review Process
We uphold the highest standards of blind-review integrity. After an initial suitability assessment by the secretariat, the manuscript undergoes double-blind peer review by two independent experts. Author names are removed from the manuscript during this process. However, the final decision rests with the Chief Editor. Please note that we typically do not accept systemic or thematic literature review papers.
The potential decisions are as follows:
- Accepted with minor updates to meet editorial requirements,
- Accepted pending minor revisions based on Reviewers’ Comments,
- Accepted pending major revisions based on Reviewers’ Comments, or
- Rejected - typically due to scope misalignment, insufficient impact, or being primarily a literature review paper.
