Arbitration Policy

  1. The editorial board is responsible for the initial screening of the research to assess its eligibility for arbitration, verify its scientific quality, and the author's adherence to publishing ethics.
  2. The arbitrator must hold a Ph.D. degree and an academic rank of at least Associate Professor.
  3. The arbitrator must complete the evaluation of the research within a maximum period of six weeks from the date of receipt.
  4. If one arbitrator rejects the research, it is referred to a third arbitrator for a final decision on its acceptance or rejection.
  5. The editor-in-chief informs the author of the arbitration decision (acceptance/rejection) without disclosing the arbitrators' identities. The journal is not obligated to respond to any subsequent objections from the author.
  6. Authors are notified of the receipt of their research within one week of its arrival at the journal.
  7. Research papers requiring modifications are returned to their authors along with the arbitrators' specific comments to make the necessary revisions prior to publication.
  8. A research paper is considered withdrawn if the author delays making the required modifications for more than three months from the date of notification, unless the editorial board accepts a compelling reason.
  9. If the author fails to implement the required modifications from the arbitrators and the journal, or withdraws the paper before publication, they bear all arbitration costs and any associated expenses incurred by the journal.
  10. It is not permitted to publish the research in another scientific journal after its publication has been approved by this journal.
