Instructions for journal editors

The editorial Team plays an important role in journal management and helps maintain the journals’ quality. Editors contribute to the journal’s successful development and its scientific growth. The editor is responsible for the journal content, and his/her decision is crucial for publishing the article.

Once the manuscript is submitted, an editor evaluates its quality and decides whether it suits the journal’s scope. If the editor finds that the subject is not appropriate or the manuscript is poorly written, the research is rejected without further processing. It is called desk rejection.

If the editor’s decision is to submit the research, then the manuscript goes to a minimum of 2 external reviewers for peer-reviewing. Usually, the decision is made within 3-5 days.
