About Paper Review

All published journal papers are refereed by international competent researchers and scientists. Therefore, a full double-blind international refereeing process is used in which:

• The reviewers' recommendations determine whether a paper will be accepted/accepted subject to change/subject to resubmission with significant changes / rejected.

For papers that require changes, the same reviewers will be used to ensure that the quality of the revised paper is acceptable.

All papers are refereed, and the Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to refuse any typescript, whether on invitation or otherwise, and to make suggestions and/or modifications before publication.
