Review Process and Guidelines for Special Issues

All submissions will undergo an initial screening by the Guest Editors to ensure quality and relevance based on predefined criteria. Accepted manuscripts will undergo the same type of peer review process as those submitted for the regular issues of the journal.

Authors will be required to revise their manuscripts based on reviewer feedback. The Guest Editors will recommend acceptance or rejection, with final approval granted by the Editor-in-Chief.
