General Requirements

Each submitted manuscript will be reviewed by at least two (2) reviewers who specialize in the relevant field. Prospective reviewers are selected based on their expertise and the relevance of their specialization to the manuscript topic. The duration of the review process may vary, typically one round of review is expected to be completed within four to eight (4-8) weeks.

  • Research Methodology: Has the research been conducted using appropriate and relevant methods? Are the tools, materials, and procedures described in sufficient detail to allow replication?

Ethical Responsibilities (AI Usage)

To uphold the strict confidentiality of the peer review process, reviewers are strictly prohibited from uploading any part of the submitted manuscript into external Generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, etc.). This action is considered a serious breach of confidentiality and data privacy.

The review report must be the product of the reviewer's own critical assessment. The use of Generative AI to generate the review report is not permitted, as it undermines the principle of expert human evaluation.
