Peer Review Process

Manuscripts that successfully pass the initial editorial assessment are subjected to external peer review under a double-blind review model, in which both authors and reviewers remain anonymous. This approach helps minimize potential biases and promotes an objective and impartial evaluation process.

Reviewers assess several key aspects of the manuscript, including:

• Methodological quality and rigor;
• Internal validity of the study;
• Originality and scientific contribution;
• Relevance to the journal’s scope and the broader scientific community.

Editorial decisions are based on the reviewers’ recommendations and the editor’s assessment, ensuring a rigorous, transparent, and evidence-based evaluation process.
