Submission and Review Timeline

Manuscripts may be submitted to the journal throughout the year. However, all submissions are processed according to the journal’s scheduled editorial and peer-review cycles for each issue. Authors are advised to observe the relevant submission deadlines, as manuscripts received after the cut-off date may be considered for the following issue.

The normal editorial timeline is as follows:

• Acknowledgement of Submission
  Authors will receive confirmation of manuscript receipt within one week of submission.

• Initial Editorial and Peer-Review Decision
  Authors will normally be notified of the preliminary decision within six weeks, subject to the availability of reviewers and the completion of the peer-review process.
  
  
• Submission of Revised Manuscript
  Where revisions are required, authors are expected to submit the revised manuscript within four weeks from the date of notification.

• Final Editorial Decision
  The final decision will normally be communicated within two weeks after receipt and assessment of the revised manuscript. 

• Publication Schedule
  Accepted manuscripts will be published in the scheduled June or December issue, normally during the second week of the respective publication month.
