Submission process

Authors: Interested in submitting to this journal? We recommend reviewing the About the
Journal page for information on section policies and the Author Guidelines. Authors should
follow the five-step submission process.
As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission’s
compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that
do not adhere to these guidelines:
The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for
consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
The submission is in the journal official template (available from the link below). The
submission file is in Microsoft Word.
Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
The text is single-spaced; uses a 11-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining
(except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the
text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author
Guidelines.
1. After the manuscript is submitted, the author receives an email confirming that the editors
have received it.
2. In the initial stage, the journal editors review the manuscript to ensure it meets formal
requirements, including adherence to the Author Guidelines, alignment with the journal’s
focus, inclusion of essential attributes of a scientific paper, and a clearly stated scientific
contribution. If the manuscript falls short in any of these areas, it is returned to the authors
for revision.
3. If the paper meets the essential requirements, the Editor-in-Chief, in collaboration with the
other editors, will assign at least two reviewers with expertise in the subject area. These
reviewers will then prepare their evaluations using the standardized review form (English
version).
4. After receiving the reviews, the Editor-in-Chief decides on the paper’s acceptance based
on the reviewers‘ recommendations. If even one review is negative, the paper will not be
accepted. If all reviews are positive, the corresponding editor will request the authors to

address the reviewers‘ comments and revise the paper if needed. Additional modifications
beyond those suggested by the reviewers may also be requested.
5. The paper will only be accepted once all the editor’s requirements have been satisfied.
The author will be notified of the acceptance via email.
