REVIEWING OF MANUSCRIPTS

After manuscripts are submitted online through the Open Journal System (OJS) portal, the screening committee that consists of the editorial boards conduct the initial screening process and send the screened manuscripts to the managing editor. The managing editor assigns each manuscript that has passed the screening process to two journal editors and two reviewers for reviews. The managing editor then collects the reports of the two reviewing processes, and if both concur that the article is possible to be published, the managing editor completes the article with the collected reports and recommendations. In consultation with the editor in chief, the managing editor makes the final decision on the acceptance of the manuscript and supervises revision and preparation for production. The whole review process normally takes one to two months.

REVISION OF MANUSCRIPTS

Manuscripts sent back to the authors for revision should be returned to the editor promptly. Revised manuscripts can be sent through the Online Submission Interface. The revised manuscripts returned later than three months will be considered as new submissions.
