The editor is responsible for determining whether submissions fall within the scope of the Journal. If approved by the editor, the submission is then reviewed by a minimum of two editors who will complete their evaluation and make one of the following recommendations:
-
manuscript is accepted with no revisions
-
manuscript is accepted with minor revisions
-
manuscript should be revised and resubmitted
-
manuscript is rejected
Submissions accepted with minor revisions are returned to the author with editor comments, revised by the author, and once approved, published. Submissions returned with a “revise and resubmit” evaluation are to be rewritten and resubmitted to the review process. Once a submission has been accepted, editors work with authors to copyedit the manuscript and prepare the article for publication.
