Publication Workflow

1. Submission: Authors provide the manuscript, author details, supplementary files, and signed copyright transfer form.
2. Editorial screening: The editorial team checks scope, language, formatting, similarity, ethics, authorship, and required documents.
3. Peer review: Manuscripts that pass screening are sent for peer review, and authors may be asked to revise their work.
4. Editorial decision: The editor issues a decision based on reviewer reports, revisions, and journal policy.
5. Production: Accepted manuscripts are prepared for publication, and their publication details are checked.
6. Publication: The final article is published open access under CC BY 4.0 and added to the journal archive.

The editors may ask for further information or documents when authorship, ethics, originality, AI use, or permissions need to be verified.
