Potential peer reviewers should inform the Editor of any possible conflicts of interest before accepting an invitation to review a manuscript. Communications between Editors and peer reviewers contain confidential information that should not be shared with third parties.

The reviewers thoroughly assess the article, considering its subject matter, methodology, and findings, providing their recommendations on whether the paper should be published. If both reviewers offer positive feedback, the manuscript is approved for publication under the decision of the Editor-in-Chief. In the event of a negative opinion from one of the two reviewers, the manuscript undergoes review by a third expert. Publication is possible with the favorable decisions of at least two reviewers. The identities of reviewers remain undisclosed to the author, and the author’s identity is likewise concealed from the reviewers. The editor responsible for decision-making has access to the identities of both reviewers and authors.
