REVIEW PROCESS

The submitted papers are subject to a peer review process. The purpose of peer review is to assist the Еditor in making editorial decisions, and through editorial communication with the author, it may also assist the author in improving the paper.

A manuscript goes through the peer review process: Double-blind peer review. Double-blind peer review means that reviewers are unaware of the identity of the authors, and authors are also unaware of the identity of reviewers. There has to be at least one reviewer. The typical period of time allowed for review is 5-6 weeks. Note: Can be modified during the editorial process.

The choice of reviewers is at the editors' discretion. The reviewers must be knowledgeable about the subject area of the manuscript; they must not be from the authors' own institution, and they should not have recent joint publications with any of the authors.

Reviewers must not have a conflict of interest with respect to the research, the authors, and/or the funding sources for the research.
