Reviewers

  1. After the Editors accept a manuscript for review, it undergoes a blind-review process.
  2. Reviewers should be experts in their areas providing objective evaluation of the submitted manuscript.
  3. The selected reviewers will be asked to answer specific questions (in the form of questionnaire) about the submitted manuscript as well as comment and insert corrections directly in the Word document using track changes and comment tool (comment ID will be removed afterwards).
  4. The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines regarding peer-review process can be found here.
