The conformity of the subject matter with the contents of the Journal

Meeting the formal requirements
The acceptance of the publication conditions
If approved, the articles will be anonymously assessed by the external peer reviewers. For the adequate and timely assessment of each manuscript, the peer reports are necessary.
Once the process of external assessment of the article has been completed, the associate editor will make a recommendation to the editor of the journal who will make the decision, based on any of the following resolutions:
Rejecting the manuscript
Requesting a reviewed version of the manuscript
Requesting a revised version of the manuscript with minor adjustments
Accepting the manuscript for publication
The decision on the assessment and the reports of the reviewers and associate editor is communicated to the corresponding author in writing through the platform.
