Peer review policy
This journal operates a double-blind peer review policy involving two or more external reviewers. Authors can suggest peer reviewers in the cover letter through providing the reviewers names, email addresses, ORCID or Scopus ID. Authors may request the exclusion of individuals as peer reviewers, but they should explain the reasons in their cover letter on submission. Authors should not exclude too many individuals as this may delays the peer review process.
