  12. The Peer Review Process
    The journal follows a mixed review system. This system includes the initial screening, double blind peer reviews and editorial reviews. The names and affiliations of the authors are blinded for each manuscript for fairness of selection and quality assurance. In addition, the average time for the process from submission to final decision for publication is 8 weeks. Our experiences tell that this review process has helped the journal to determine the originality, validity and relevance of the manuscripts.

    Publication Charge
    The journal does not charge the authors for publishing the articles because the journal is fully funded by the institution.
