Articles will undergo all of the journal's standard peer review and editorial processes outlined in its submission guidelines (this opens in a new tab) 

Editorial Procedure: Double-blind peer review

This journal follows a double-blind reviewing procedure. This means that the author will remain anonymous to the reviewers throughout peer review. It is the responsibility of the author to anonymize the manuscript and any associated materials.

Author names, affiliations and any other potentially identifying information should be removed from the manuscript text and any accompanying files (such as figures of supplementary material);

A separate Title Page should be submitted, containing title, author names, affiliations, and the contact information of the corresponding author. Any acknowledgements, disclosures, or funding information should also be included on this page;

Authors should avoid citing their own work in a way that could reveal their identity.

For Special Issues, the manuscripts are handled by Guest Editors. EiC transfers the manuscripts to GE after initial check. The GE gets the manuscript reviewed through a Double-blind peer review system. 

After review and the revision process, the GE gives his/her Recommendation for the manuscript. However, the final decision to accept or reject the manuscript is with the EiC.
