Review Process

Two peer reviewers will review blind-copied article and send their comments and verdicts to the chief editor. The editorial board should consider for publication those articles that were recommended for publication after minor corrections have been effected. Where the verdict is to accept after major corrections, such articles will go through another round of peer review and publication may be so delayed.

All submitted articles will be subjected to plagiarism checks in order to uphold principled standards in the published articles. Authors whose articles not pass plagiarism checks will have their papers rejected and will also be banned from submitting articles to the journal for two years.
