Peer Review Appeals and Author Complaints
Peer Review Appeals and Author Complaints
Our journal adheres to the guidelines provided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) regarding appeals of editorial decisions and complaints concerning the management of the peer review process.
Please note that appeals are infrequent, and the original decisions are seldom reversed by the editors. The decision to reject a manuscript often involves the editor's judgment of priority, importance, and relevance, factors that authors typically cannot address through an appeal. However, if you believe there is a valid case for an appeal, we encourage you to submit an appeal letter to the editorial office, outlining the basis for your appeal. If you are an author and wish to provide feedback on aspects of the journal's editorial management, we welcome your comments, and you may submit them to the editorial office.
