Peer Review Method of the Journal

The journal employs a Double-Blind Peer Review method. In this process:

• The identities of the authors remain anonymous to the reviewers.
• The identities of the reviewers are not disclosed to the authors.

This process is designed to ensure impartiality, enhance the quality of manuscript evaluation, and prevent any personal bias in the decision-making process. Authors are also requested not to include any information that could reveal their identity (such as names, institutional affiliations, or other identifying details) within the manuscript.
