Reviewing policy

Scientific articles submitted for publishing in journal are subjected to a single-blind review process. In this review process, the author submitting their research article does not know the identities of their reviewers, although the reviewers may choose to if so desired. Two independent experts review each article, and a final publishing decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief. [12]

Use of AI policy

The platform rule on AI tools like Chatgpt is that the author must disclose how the tool was used. [12]
