Assignment of the manuscript to an appropriate editor;

Double-blind review by at least two independent reviewers;
-
Evaluation of reviewer comments by the editor;

Author revision when required;
-
Further review when necessary; and

Final editorial decision.
The final decision to accept or reject a manuscript is made by the responsible editor based on the quality, originality, relevance, methodological soundness, and reviewer recommendations.
Editors and reviewers are required to disclose and manage any potential conflict of interest.
