Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process
Peer reviewers have the right to provide feedback to authors in order to improve the quality of the manuscript and to assist editors in making editorial policy decisions according to their respective areas of expertise.

Willingness
Peer reviewers must inform the editor of their willingness to review the manuscript. If unwilling, they must notify the editor accordingly.

Confidentiality
Manuscripts under review are confidential documents. Communication with third parties is prohibited without the author's permission.

Standards of Objectivity
Peer reviewers must adhere to principles of objectivity and avoid personal criticism of the manuscript’s author during the review process. All comments must be accompanied by clear and supportive suggestions.

Reference Clarity
Reviewers are encouraged to provide authors with relevant literature or case studies that have not been cited but share substantial similarities or overlaps with the manuscript being reviewed.

Conflict of Interest

• Peer reviewers are not allowed to use unpublished material from the manuscript for personal use without written permission from the author under any circumstances.

• Information and ideas contained in the reviewed manuscript are confidential and must not be distributed or used for personal gain.

• If a conflict of interest exists due to competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with the author, institution, or company involved in the publication, the peer reviewer is not permitted to evaluate the related manuscript.
