Review Process
Submitted manuscripts are reviewed for originality, significance, adequacy of documentation, reader interest and composition. Note: In the event that a journal’s editors are made aware of any allegation of research misconduct relating to a published article in their journal, the publisher or editor shall follow COPE’s guidelines (or equivalent) in dealing with allegations.
- Manuscripts not submitted according to instructions will be returned to the author for correction prior to the beginning of the processing.
- All manuscripts are subject to a similarity check using the Turnitin service.
- Articles with an overall similarity index greater than 19% or with a similarity index from a single source exceeding 3% are subject to clarification and/or correction.

- Manuscripts are then forwarded to two external peer reviewers and statistical reviewers.
- The pee-review process is double-blinded.
- Each manuscript will further be checked for technical, epidemiological, statistical, ethical and language corrections.
