The editors check scope, format, and similarity (Turnitin). Manuscripts above 20% similarity or outside the scope are returned to the authors.

At least three reviewers evaluate the manuscript double-blind. Each reviewer has one month to report.

The editor decides to accept, request revision, or reject. Revisions are due within one month, with changes highlighted and a point-by-point response. Authors may appeal a decision; see Editorial Decisions & Appeals.

After acceptance, sign the Author Agreement and pay the article publishing cost.

Check the galley proof within 48 hours. The article is published in the next issue (May or November) with a Crossref DOI and open access.
