Peer review

This journal operates a double anonymized review process. The editor will initially assess all contributions to determine their suitability for the journal. Papers deemed suitable are then typically sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess the paper's scientific quality. One of the Editors-in-Chief is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. The Editor-in-Chief's decision is final. Editors are not involved in decisions about papers that they have written themselves or have been written by family members or colleagues or which relate to products or services in which the editor is interested. Any such submission is subject to the journal's usual procedures, with peer review handled independently by the relevant editor and their research groups. Special issues will undergo the same peer review standard.
