Peer Review Policy

Double Blind Peer Review
Author(s) identity is removed from the manuscript and shielded from
the reviewers during the review process. The reviewer is left with only
the manuscript, without any information that might enable him/her
uncovers the identity of the author(s). Information removed includes the
author(s) name, address/affiliation, country, phone and email. Any
information in the Acknowledgement and Declaration of Conflict of
Interest that may lead to the uncovering of the identity of the author is
also removed from the manuscript prior to sending it to reviewers.

Manuscripts are assigned to members of the editorial board of the
journal or other qualified reviewers. The review process is done using
the Manuscript Management System. Reviewers make one of the
following recommendations:

• Accept Unconditionally. Accept, with or without editorial
revisions.

• Accept Conditionally. Invite the authors to revise their
manuscript to address specific concerns before a final decision
is reached.

• Reject in Current Form. Reject, but indicate to the authors that
further work might justify a re-submission.

• Reject Outright. Reject outright, typically on grounds of
specialist interest, lack of novelty, insufficient conceptual
advance or major technical and/or interpretational problems.

A Review Certificate is issued to reviewers after the review of
the manuscript.
