Submission General Process

The journal editor or section editor will handle every submission and should follow the process as shown below.

The publication process begins with the submission of a manuscript. If required, a pre-review check ensures the submission meets basic criteria before proceeding to the formal review stage. During the review, the manuscript is evaluated by reviewers, after which the editor makes an editorial decision. If the manuscript is accepted, it moves to production and is eventually published. If minor revisions are requested, the author revises the manuscript, and it may undergo further review. For major revisions, the author makes substantial changes before resubmitting for another round of review. If the manuscript is declined at any point, the process ends. The workflow continues until the manuscript is either published or rejected, ensuring thorough evaluation and opportunities for improvement.
