PUBLICATION ETHICS & POLICY

The journal does not in any way entertain any content which has already been published elsewhere. Any plagiarism found in any kind of paper is strictly forbidden. All papers shall undergo a peer-reviewed process and the decision of reviewers shall be final and binding. A clear description of ethical principles will help manage author expectations and will help manage situations that may arise if these statements have not been adhered to by authors.
The journal employs the double-blind peer review process, where both reviewers and authors remain anonymous throughout the review process.
Every proposal submitted for publication is read at least by an editor, for an initial review. If the paper agrees with editorial policies and with a minimum quality level, it is sent to two reviewers. The reviewers won't know the author's identity, as any identifying information will be stripped from the document before review.
