Quality, originality, relevance, contribution, and integrity of research constitute the criteria which the journal considers during the entire process of editing and publishing. The publishing schedule does not lower the criteria of quality considered during the process of editing and peer review.
It should be understood by authors that the journal does not give any commitment for publishing papers within a certain period of time. The time required can vary for different papers based on the situation.
The following are ways in which authors can ensure an efficient editorial process through:
- Submission of fully prepared manuscripts.
