Suitable manuscripts then proceed to a double-anonymized peer review by experts in the field. Once the peer review process is completed and the manuscript is accepted, it undergoes language and technical editing to ensure clarity and accuracy. In the final stage, the manuscript is formatted, typeset, and prepared for publication in the relevant issue of the journal.
