The decision for publication, amendment, or rejection is based on their reports/recommendations. The accepted research articles will be available online following the journal's peer-reviewing process.
After being reviewed, there will be four kinds of editor decisions based on reviewers’ recommendations:
- Accept Submission: The submission will be accepted without revisions.
- Revisions Required: The submission will be accepted after minor changes have been made.
- Resubmit for Review: The submission needs to be re-worked, but with significant changes, may be accepted. It will require a second round of review, however.
- Decline Submission: The submission will not be published in the journal.
The recommendations of the reviewers are sent to the authors by the Editor-in-Chief, who is responsible for the objectivity of the judgments and findings of the reviews. Revised articles should be sent directly to the Editor-in-Chief. When an article has been accepted, the Editor-in-Chief will inform the author(s) in which issue the paper will be published.
