Peer Review Process

This journal operates a double-blind review process. All contributions will be initially assessed by the editors for suitability for the journal. Papers deemed suitable are then typically sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. The Editor in chief is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles.

To facilitate this, please include the following separately:
Title page (with author details): This should include the title, authors' names, affiliations, and any Declaration of Interest statement, and a complete address for the corresponding author including an e-mail address. Blinded manuscript (no author details): The main body of the paper (including the references, figures, and tables) should not include any identifying information, such as the authors' names or affiliations.
