The manuscript must be prepared and revised in full conformity with the journal’s Author Guidelines available on the journal’s website. If the author is unable to implement the required formatting and stylistic standards, the manuscript—together with the journal’s style guide—must be entrusted to a qualified editor or professional editing service for proper editing and formatting prior to submission.
Registration in the Journal System:
Authors must register in the journal’s online submission system.

The manuscript must be submitted through the journal’s online system, together with a separate file containing the full details of all authors.
Initial Editorial Screening:
The Editor-in-Chief conducts a preliminary evaluation of submitted manuscripts to ensure compliance with the journal’s minimum academic, structural, and formal standards.

If the first reviewer recommends substantial revisions, the manuscript will be returned to the author for amendment.
Second Peer Review:
The revised manuscript is then sent to a second reviewer. This review stage also generally requires one to two months.
Implementation of Second Reviewer’s Comments:
The author must address and incorporate all required revisions suggested by the second reviewer.
Final Technical and Formal Review:
The manuscript is reassessed for compliance with the journal’s style guide and editorial standards. If necessary, it will be returned to the author for final technical corrections.

The Editorial Board convenes to deliberate on manuscripts that have received favorable peer-review reports and have completed the required revisions. Final approval is granted at this stage.
Additional Revisions (if required by the Editorial Board):
Should the Editorial Board request further amendments, the manuscript will be returned to the author for implementation.
