Journal Publication Process and Rules

Scientific studies submitted to the journal are initially reviewed by the editor for compliance with the journal's policy and spelling rules. Original studies that are deemed appropriate are directed to at least 2 referees according to the principles of independent refereeing. If the evaluation approval cannot be obtained from the referees, the manuscript is sent to another referee within 21 days. In addition, if an evaluation report cannot be received from the referees within 1 month, the manuscript is referred to another referee. Original studies are published or rejected according to the decisions of the referees. Manuscripts that do not comply with the journal's publication principles and spelling rules are sent back for correction.
