Our goal is to review newly submitted papers within 6-9 months. Manuscripts accepted for publication are typically included in the next issue of the Journal, following the completion of the review and revision process. However, these timeframes may vary depending on the volume of submissions and the availability of appropriate reviewers. Note to prospective authors: As submissions to the journal are increasing and reviewers are in short supply, please be advised that manuscripts that are not sufficiently proofread and/or do not address the journal aims and scope will not be sent out for review.

The Journal does not charge any submission fees or article processing charges.

Intending authors should be aware that the Journal has a rejection rate in excess of 60%.
