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.
