POST-SUBMISSION

Once your submitted manuscript is received, the Journal Editor will forward it to the appropriate Section Editor, depending on the science domain of the submitted article.

Submitted articles are checked using the plagiarism detection tool, Crossref Similarity Check that is powered by the iThenticate software.  According to the plagiarism detection report, only manuscripts with 20% or less plagiarism are sent for review processes. 

Two reviewers who are expert and specialized in the field will be invited to review the manuscript independently, in a specified time interval.

Each reviewer will use a structured evaluation form to objectively facilitate reaching a fair decision as to accept or reject the article.

The corresponding author will be informed by email about the reviewers' conclusions and decision.

The article may be returned to the corresponding author for revision and corrections as indicated by the reviewer(s). The corresponding author is expected to re-submit the article after making the required correction, before the deadline given by the Journal Editor. 

Authors are expected to supply the journal with post publication updates (in case of narrative and systematic review articles), as a letter to editor when major development occurs in the subject or field of review.
