The manuscript will be reviewed by at least two experts: one editorial staff member and one to three external reviewers. The review process typically takes 4-8 weeks, depending on reviewer availability and manuscript complexity.

The decision to accept or reject an article is based on reviewer recommendations. If reviewers’ opinions differ, the editor-in-chief will evaluate all comments to make a balanced decision or initiate a second round of peer review.
