Peer Review Process
Check relevance to scope, completeness of required components, and similarity level (max. 25% excluding references).
Manuscripts that pass initial screening are assigned to a Section Editor for further evaluation before forwarding to reviewers.
At least two independent experts assess originality, methodology, data quality, analysis, contribution to health sciences, and overall structure. Recommendations: acceptance, minor revision, major revision, or rejection.
Authors submit a revised manuscript with a response document. Manuscripts requiring substantial changes may undergo re-review.
Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision. Accepted manuscripts proceed to copyediting, layout, and galley proof. Published 3 times/year (March, July, November). All articles are open access.
