Editorial Process

The journal follows the editorial workflow:

Submission → Administrative Screening → Scope and Scientific Screening → Similarity Screening → Reviewer Assignment → Double-Blind Peer Review → Author Revision → Editorial Evaluation → Final Decision → Copyediting → Proofreading → Production → Publication

Editorial decisions are based on:

• originality;
• scientific contribution;
• technological relevance;
• methodological rigor;
• technical validity;
• quality of evidence;
• ethical compliance;
• sustainability relevance; and
• peer-review outcomes.

Decisions must not be influenced by an author’s nationality, institutional affiliation, gender, religion, ethnicity, political beliefs, professional position, personal relationships, or ability to pay publication charges.

Manuscripts submitted by editors or persons closely associated with the journal must be managed through an independent editorial process.
