All manuscripts undergo double-blind review, meaning the identities of both authors and reviewers are kept confidential throughout the review process.

The main assessment criteria include: (1) originality and novelty of the scientific contribution, (2) methodological rigor and reproducibility of results, (3) significance of the findings relative to current literature, and (4) compliance with research and publication ethics.
