Timeline for editorial management
The editorial processing time for each manuscript received is estimated to be less than 120 days; however, in some cases, this timeframe may vary, primarily due to a lack of feedback from the author, which could lengthen the acceptance process.
In other cases, it may be shorter, due to a prompt response from reviewers and authors.
Under no circumstances will articles be retained for editorial processing if they are older than 180 days after the initial peer review request. Should this situation arise, the journal's Editor-in-Chief will reject the submission for exceeding the editorial processing deadlines.
The standard editorial processing schedule is as follows:
