The manuscript will be checked for technical details. If there is missing some of the technical details, the manuscript will be returned to the corresponding author.

After initial article assessment, editors decide to send the paper to double peer-review or reject a paper if the Journal's requirements are not fulfilled (for example, the aim or scope of the Journal, etc.).
Authors should avoid self-citation and if there is a need to point to previously published work, they should refer to this as “previous studies” or do it in the third person in the same way they would refer to any other author’s work.
