Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement
We follow the standards of Committee on Publication Ethics. Editors, authors, and reviewers are expected to be aware and refer to COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.
Publication decisions
The submitted manuscripts are scanned by the Editor for their originality and importance to the journal readers. Those not responding to these conditions or those who are subject to plagiarism are automatically rejected.
The manuscripts accepted for review are sent to Associated Editors who assign them to at least three referees.
Once the reviews are achieved, Editorial comments are sent to the author who is expected to reply by performing the adequate corrections.
The final decision to accept or to reject the manuscript depends on the answers provided by the authors to reviewer comments and the established corrections in the revised manuscript.
