All manuscripts submitted to the International Journals are peer-reviewed as per the following procedure:

a) Initial review

The evaluation of each manuscript is done by Editor-in-Chief using online plagiarism checker to determine that a topic and content is suitable for consideration.

Papers with more than 15% plagiarism are returned to the authors within one week of receipt, so that the authors can decide to either correct the problems or to submit the paper to an appropriate venue.

The aim and scope as well as the quality of the manuscript will also be checked by the Editor-in-Chief.

b) Peer review

After passing the initial review the manuscripts are assigned to an Associate Editor, who selects four referees based on their expertise in the field of paper.

A revised paper should be re-submitted within seven days of the decision by the author.
