Peer Review Process
Once your paper has been assessed for suitability by the editor, it will then be peer-reviewed by independent, two or three expert referees. Publication decision for submitted manuscripts is based on peer review process. But the Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. This journal makes articles available online as soon as possible after acceptance. Authors are responsible for their articles’ conformity to scientific and legal rules.
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract, an academic thesis, or poster presentation), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. However, this situation should be noted as a footnote by the author(s) on the title page.
Copyright
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete a “Journal Publishing Agreement”. An e-mail will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript together with a 'Journal Publishing Agreement' form. The author(s) will not be paid any copyright.
