PEER REVIEW PROCESS
Peer Review Process
- Editor receiving manuscript from author;
- Editor evaluates manuscript (journal aim and scope, in-house style, supplementary data); rejects if it does not meet criteria.
- Editor screening for plagiarism on offline and online database manually (Rejected if found major plagiarism, contacted author if found redundancy or minor plagiarism for clarification)
- The editor sends the manuscript to reviewer along with review form (double blind review; both the reviewer and author remain anonymous to each other);
- The reviewer sends back his review form to Editor (with revised manuscript if necessary);
- Editor decision (rejected, require major revision, need minor revision, or accepted);
- Confirmation to the author.
- If there is a revision, the author revised manuscripts, which should be returned to the editor without delay. Submissions returned later than three months will be considered new submissions.
