Manuscripts that pass initial evaluation are sent for external peer review, and the Editor-in-Chief can evaluate the manuscripts himself/herself or can assign an Associate Editor. Then manuscripts are sent to at least two reviewers. The reviewers must review the manuscript within 4 weeks. The Associate Editor recommends a decision based on the reviewers’ recommendations and returns the manuscript to the Editor-in-Chief. The Editor-in-Chief makes a final decision based on editorial priorities, manuscript quality, and reviewer recommendations. If there are any conflicting recommendations from reviewers, the Editor-in-Chief can assign a new reviewer.
