The peer-review process is summarized as follows:

1. After a manuscript is submitted to the journal, an Editor is assigned to process it.

2. Editor produces a similarity report of the submission, which excludes Sources less than 1% and Bibliography, on iThenticate and uploads this report to the system for Reviewers to consider the report during the review.
a. The manuscript is rejected if the similarity rate (SR) is greater than 50%.
b. If 30% < SR < 50%, Editor checks the manuscript for plagiarism and whether it complies with the JNT’s style guide and the required sections Abstract, Introduction, and Conclusion are included in the paper. Editor then requests Author to resubmit it as SR reduced to 30% or less. If either or both of the above cases exist(s), then Author is required to reformat the paper following the style guide and/or to include the missing section(s).
c. If SR ≤ 30%, Editor checks the manuscript for plagiarism and whether it complies with the JNT’s style guide and the required sections Abstract, Introduction, and Conclusion are included in the paper. If Editor detects a likely case of plagiarism or realizes incongruence with the style guide and/or an absent/incomplete section, then Author is required to revise the manuscript before resubmission.

3. If required, Editor corresponds with Author until the article is ready for review.
If Author does not accept to resubmit the manuscript, the manuscript is rejected.
If Author has failed to duly satisfy the listed requests, the manuscript is rejected.

4. If Editor assigns an Area Editor,
a. Area Editor appoints at least four reviewers, two of which are proposed by Author.
b. Area Editor judges Reject, Minor revision, or Major Revision based on reviewers’ comments. If the decision is Reject, Area Editor notifies Editor of the decision.
If Author does not accept to revise the manuscript, the manuscript is rejected.
If Author has failed to upload the revised version and the compulsory files by the due date, the manuscript is rejected.
c. When the Minor Revision is completed, Area Editor reviews the revised paper and the accompanying response letter. Area Editor then notifies Editor of the decision.
d. When the Major Revision is completed, Area Editor forwards the revised paper and the accompanying response letter to Reviewers. Area Editor notifies Editor of the decision made based on the reviewers’ comments.

If Editor does not assign an Area Editor,
a. Editor appoints at least four reviewers, two of which are proposed by Author.
b. Editor judges Reject, Minor Revision, or Major Revision based on reviewers’ comments.
If Author does not accept to revise the manuscript, the manuscript is rejected.
If Author has failed to upload the revised version and the compulsory files by the due date, the manuscript is rejected.
c. When the Minor Revision is completed, Editor reviews the revised paper and the accompanying response letter. Editor then notifies Author of the decision.
d. When the Major Revision is completed, Editor forwards the revised paper and the accompanying response letter to Reviewers. Editor then notifies Author of the decision made based on the reviewers’ comments.

5. Editor completes the process by forwarding the accepted manuscript to Layout Editor, Proofreading (Language) Editor, and Production Editor.
