Peer Review

All submissions undergo an initial editorial assessment to determine their originality, scholarly quality, ethical compliance, and alignment with the journal's aims and scope. Manuscripts that satisfy the initial assessment normally undergo double-anonymous peer review by at least two independent reviewers with relevant subject expertise.

Editorial decisions are based on scholarly merit, originality, methodological or analytical rigour, clarity, ethical integrity, and relevance to the journal. Decisions are made without discrimination on the basis of nationality, institutional affiliation, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, political position, professional status, or ability to pay publication charges.
