Manuscript Review Process
          All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial review by the journal’s Editorial Board. The Board evaluates the suitability of the article’s topic and content, its alignment with the journal’s aims and scope, its theoretical and practical contributions, the accuracy of formatting according to submission guidelines, as well as checks for duplication and plagiarism. The Editorial Board reserves the right to decline consideration of any manuscript that does not comply with the journal’s formatting requirements.
          If a manuscript passes the initial review, the Editorial Board will forward it to at least three qualified peer reviewers with expertise in the relevant field to assess its quality and determine its suitability for publication. The review process is conducted under a double-blind peer review system, whereby neither the reviewers nor the authors are aware of each other’s identities. The timeline for the peer review follows the journal’s standard operating procedures.

The manuscript may be accepted for publication, returned to the author(s) for revision, or rejected. Only manuscripts that have been revised in accordance with both the reviewers’ and the Editorial Board’s comments will be reconsidered for publication. The Editorial Board reserves the right to reject any manuscript that does not adequately address the suggested revisions. The Editorial Board’s decision is final and binding.
          At the final stage, the Editorial Board will verify the accuracy of references and thoroughly proofread them. Authors may be asked to make final adjustments before the article is published online on the journal’s website.
