All manuscripts are initially screened by the Editor in-chief or any member of the Editorial Board to assess the suitability of the paper with respect to conformity to journal scope and guidelines; before being subjected to peer-review by at least two reviewers who are experts in the relevant field. Reviewers are expected to declare any conflict of interest.

The review process is double-blinded and confidentiality is usually maintained throughout the process.
