2. Preliminary Screening by the Editor
• The Editor-in-Chief conducts an initial assessment of the manuscript’s quality, including topic relevance, originality, and writing structure.
• Manuscripts meeting the preliminary criteria are forwarded to reviewers. Otherwise, they are returned to the authors for revisions.
3. Reviewer Assignment
• Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to two independent reviewers who have expertise in the manuscript’s subject matter.
