Articles per Issue
The number of articles in each issue depends on the manuscripts that pass editorial evaluation and peer review. The capacity of an issue does not influence editorial decisions.
Each manuscript is assessed solely on its scientific quality, originality, fit with the Focus and Scope of the journal, research integrity, and the results of peer review.
Submission and Editorial Timeline
Manuscripts are accepted throughout the year. Editorial screening begins once a manuscript has been submitted. After peer review, revision, final editorial evaluation, and production, an accepted manuscript is scheduled for the next available issue.
| Step | Stage | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Submission | The author submits the manuscript online. Submissions are open throughout the year. |
| 2 | Editorial screening | The editors check the manuscript after it has been submitted. |
| 3 | Peer review | Reviewers assess the manuscript and advise the editors. |
| 4 | Revision and final evaluation | The author revises the manuscript, and the editors make the final evaluation. |
| 5 | Production and scheduling | The accepted manuscript is produced and scheduled for the next available issue. |
Estimated time to notification
Authors are usually notified of acceptance about 1 to 2 months after submission. This is an estimate, not a guarantee. The actual time depends on the availability of reviewers, the complexity of the manuscript, the need for revision, and the number of review rounds.
Summary
The journal publishes four regular issues each year, and submissions are open throughout the year. Decisions are based on editorial evaluation, peer review, research integrity, and compliance with the policies of the journal.
