Peer Review Process

After the editor reviews the manuscript for suitability for the journal, it is recommended for external peer review.  However. The manuscripts must:

  • Fall within the journal’s research fields.
  • Meet the academic standards for articles published in the journal.
  • Be written in clear and grammatically correct standard academic English.
  • Be unpublished and not currently under consideration by any other publisher.
  • All research articles published in the Journal undergo double-blind peer review by at least two anonymous reviewers.
  • Typically, reviews are returned within two weeks but may take longer if it becomes necessary to find another reviewer.
  • We accept only original research papers of sufficient quality that meet the aims and scope of the journal. We do not support multiple, redundant, or concurrent publications. An article found to have plagiarized other work or include materials without necessary permission will be denied publication.
  • All content of the journal is freely available without charge to users or their institutions. All articles are published open access, so are made freely available at no charge to the readers.
