Submitted manuscripts will generally be reviewed by two or more experts who will be asked to evaluate the manuscript for publication, along with ethical and statistical Editors within a maximum of two weeks. The whole review process depends on receiving the Reviewers’ feedbacks. The handling Editors will reach a decision based on Reviewers’ reports. The author can also suggest the names of potential qualified reviewers, but it is up to the editor to accept recommendations. The final decision of the Editors will be notified to the author(s).

Intentionally falsifying information for suggested reviewers such as a false name or email address, will result in rejection of the manuscript.

(b) Falsification is manipulating research materials, equipment, or processes, or changing or omitting data or results such that the research is not accurately represented in the research record.

(c) Plagiarism is the appropriation of another person's ideas, processes, results, or words without giving appropriate credit.

(d) Research misconduct does not include honest errors or differences of opinion.

Plagiarism

Any form of plagiarism will not be tolerated. If serious evidence of plagiarism was detected by the editorial team or reviewers in any stage of the article process it be can lead to the rejection of the article.
