For Editors

The editor(s) is responsible for determining which submissions to the journal will be published. This decision is based on the manuscript's merits and informed by the review reports. The author's gender, ethnicity, political or religious beliefs, sexual orientation or other personal information are not considered. The editor treats submissions confidentially, and only shares manuscripts with potential reviewers and members of the editorial board. The editors ensure a double-blind peer review process. In the case of submissions where the editors have a conflict of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative or personal connections with the author(s), they will ask another member of the editorial board to handle the manuscript.
