The manuscript will be reviewed by the editorial team for compliance with the Editorial Policies and Guidelines for Authors. Submissions that do not comply with both will be rejected.

If the preliminary evaluation is positive, the article will be sent for double-blind peer review by two external reviewers selected by the editor-in-chief. In case of disagreement between the reviewers, the editor-in-chief may select a third reviewer or make the final editorial decision. The reviewers' comments are returned to the authors with a request for changes to the text or a rationale for maintaining the original text.

The article is published after final approval by the editor-in-chief and guest editors (for special issues).
