Peer review process

The double-blind peer review process is a commitment of our journal. It guarantees the impartiality of the review process, promotes integrity, academic excellence, and the utmost objectivity and quality in the evaluation of manuscripts previously selected by the editorial team.

Throughout this process, both authors and reviewers remain anonymous, thus eliminating any potential bias based on identity or reputation. Reviewers are committed to adhering to the journal's standards and the guidelines defined in our publication ethics policy ( see more information ).

In each issue, readers will find a collection of articles rigorously reviewed by experts in the field, who have provided detailed and constructive feedback that ensures the published work meets the highest scientific standards.
