Peer Review Process

Every submitted article is independently reviewed by at least a double-blind review (two peer-reviewers). The decision for publication, amendment, or rejection is based upon their reports/recommendations.  After being reviewed, there will be four kinds of editor decision based on the reviewers’ recommendation:

  1. Accept Submission: The submission will be accepted without revisions.
  2. Revisions Required [Minor Revision]: The submission will be accepted after minor changes have been made.
  3. Resubmit for Review [Mayor Revision]: The submission needs to be re-worked, but with significant changes, it may be accepted. It will require a second round of review, however.
  4. Decline Submission: The submission will not be published in the journal.
