The Editorial Board members and peer reviewers of our scientific journal are university faculty who perform their editorial duties on an entirely voluntary basis. Consequently, their primary institutional, pedagogical, and administrative obligations to their respective universities take precedence.
In light of the academic and instructional commitments of our expert panel, the process of initial screening, plagiarism verification, and peer review of submitted manuscripts is organized cyclically. The scientific journal operates on the following annual review and publication cycle:
- Review Periods: The submission of the manuscripts includes screening, verification, and evaluation by our editorial members and peer reviewers from January to April and from September to November;
- Publication Schedule: The journal is published semi-annually, with the two respective issues released in May and December.
Authors are kindly requested to align their publication timelines with these designated periods.
The Editorial Board highly appreciates their understanding and academic cooperation in our shared commitment to maintaining rigorous scholarly standards.
