After initial assessment of the manuscript by the Editor-in-Chief, it will be assigned to the Executive Editor. The Executive Editor will make a detailed assessment of the manuscript and will send it out for review, if the manuscript has the potential to be published in the journal. The final decision on the manuscript will be made by the Editor-in-Chief, based on the reviewers’ and Executive Editor’s suggestion. If the manuscript is not suitable for publication, it will be declined for the publication in the journal, either initially (immediately after the assessment by the Executive Editor) or after receiving the reviewer’s response.
The review system is a single blind (author will not know the reviewer) and involves either one or two reviewers, depending upon the availability of the experts. It usually takes 4 weeks to have the initial decision on the manuscript.
