The manuscript will be sent to two or more reviewers, either new reviewers or reviewers who are already on the reviewer list. In the reviewing process, all reviewing processes are in double-blind review and managed by the editor and/or section editor in the OJS. The peer review process will be started.

Step 5 – The editor and/or section editor will collect all the review results and provide a decision on the manuscript. The editor and/or section editor will decide whether to “decline submission”, accept submission”, or “revision required” based on recommendations from all reviewers. Then the corresponding author will receive an email containing information about the status of the manuscript and reviewers' comments.
Step 6 – If the manuscript is accepted for publication the author/s has to submit the revised manuscript to the editor and/or section editor (may be rejected if it does not satisfy the reviewer's queries).
