Editorial Workflow
- The Editor-in-Chief forwards the manuscript to the appropriate Section Editor (usually an Associate Editor).
- The Section Editor appoints at least three independent reviewers, ideally including one member of the Editorial Board.
- Once reviewer feedback is submitted, the Section Editor either recommends a decision to the Editor-in-Chief or initiates a dialogue among reviewers and editors.
- After a collective decision is reached, the author is informed by either the Editor-in-Chief or the Section Editor.
Decision Outcomes
- Accepted - The manuscript is ready for publication, requiring only minor corrections like typographical fixes.
- Accepted with Minor Revisions - Some small changes are necessary per reviewer comments, overseen by the Editor-in-Chief or Action Editor.
- Revise and Resubmit - The work is promising but requires significant revisions before being reconsidered.
- Rejected - The manuscript is outside the scope, lacks substantial contribution, or is unclear; it may be resubmitted after substantial revision.
