Upon submission, the manuscript undergoes an initial evaluation by the Editor to assess:

  • Suitability with the journal’s focus and scope

Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria may be rejected without further review.

3. Plagiarism Screening

All manuscripts are checked using plagiarism detection software.
