If reviewers request for revision, authors will revise their artciles to the points reviewers will have outlined. Rarely, the re-submitted articles may be sent to fourth reviewer for further evaluation. As soon as revisions are completed and editor accepts, the correspondent author will be informed about the accept of the article for publication. For rejected papers, the correpondent author is not contacted. Peer reviewing process is approximately 6 months. This process may extend or shorten to the feedback by the reviewers.
