Peer Review Process

• Peer reviewers are entitled to provide feedback to authors in order to improve the quality of the manuscript, and to assist editors in making editorial policy decisions in accordance with their respective expertise.

• Peer reviewers must inform the editor of their willingness to review a manuscript. If they are unwilling or unable, they must notify the editor.

• Reviewed manuscripts are confidential documents. Communication with other parties without the author's permission is prohibited.

• Peer reviewers must adhere to principles of objectivity and avoid personal criticism of the author during the review process. All comments should be accompanied by clear and constructive suggestions.

• To enhance clarity of references, reviewers are encouraged to suggest relevant literature or case studies that have not been cited but share substantial similarities or overlap with the manuscript.

• Peer reviewers must avoid conflicts of interest and are not allowed to use unpublished manuscript materials for personal use under any circumstances, without the author's written consent.

• Information and ideas contained in the reviewed manuscript are confidential and must not be shared or used for personal gain.

• If there is a conflict of interest due to competition, collaboration, or other relationships with the authors, institutions, or companies involved in the publication, peer reviewers are not permitted to evaluate the manuscript.
