Peer-Review Policy

Double-blind by default: authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other throughout.

Review Model

The journal operates double-blind peer review by default — reviewer and author identities are concealed from each other. Each manuscript is typically assessed by at least two independent reviewers selected for subject expertise.

Evaluation Criteria

  • Originality and contribution to the field
  • Technical quality and soundness of methodology
  • Clarity of presentation and organisation
  • Relevance to the journal's aims and scope
