Papers deemed suitable are then typically sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least four people: the editor, the associate editor, and two reviewers. The final recommendation is sent to the author(s). Reviewers’ comments provide information and suggestions to authors that may be helpful in completing revisions. Authors are given a deadline for returning manuscripts at every stage in the publication process. The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding the acceptance or rejection of articles. The Editor's decision is final. Following manuscript acceptance and prior to publication, authors will receive galleys to check for errors.

This journal uses a double-blind review, which means the identities of the authors are concealed from the reviewers.

The review process considered the evaluation of content and styling. The research problem, quality of the literature review, method, and findings are evaluated separately by the reviews. The contribution of the paper, originality, and novelty are considered. At last, reviewers evaluate the styling f the paper which includes scientific writing, use of language, and table and figures.

All reviewers are chosen from the internal database of the journal according to their expertise. The reviewer database is updated constantly. Reviewers are asked to evaluate the paper.
