Conditions for Manuscript Review
The editorial process begins only if the manuscript submission complies with the guidelines established in this document. Otherwise, the manuscript will be returned for adjustment to the journal’s standards.
The average evaluation period for manuscripts is 12 months.
A condition for publication is that the manuscript has not been previously published or simultaneously submitted or accepted for publication in another journal. All manuscripts submitted to the journal are checked for plagiarism using the Turnitin system.
Submissions undergo an initial desk review. If they meet the journal’s publication criteria and are deemed potentially publishable, they are forwarded for peer review (double-blind review), ensuring the anonymity of both authors and reviewers.
Reviewers issue opinions with justifications that may recommend approval without changes, approval with revision suggestions, or rejection. If revisions are requested, the Editorial Board will evaluate the revised version and make the final decision regarding its acceptance, including whether further revisions are required. Authors will be informed of each stage of the process.
The Editorial Board reserves the right to make minor modifications to the authors’ texts in order to expedite the editorial process.
