Review Procedures:

3. The authors should revise the manuscript carefully according to the referees’ comments, and resubmit the revised version to the journal editors for further review.

4. The editor-in-chief and editorial board review all submitted papers bimonthly. Authors will be notified of the acceptance or rejection of manuscripts after each regular editorial meeting.

5. If the editorial board determines that the author(s) have violated publishing ethics, such as by plagiarizing other authors’ works, the author(s) will be forbidden from submitting manuscripts to the journal for 3 years, and will be required to assume full legal responsibility.
