The decision to accept or reject a publication is based on referee reports and comments, the scientific value of the research, its originality, clarity, feasibility, and relevance to the journal's field of specialization, all according to the criteria specified in the evaluation form. A manuscript will only be published if it receives at least a "good" rating from both referees.
  11. Research review criteria revolve around: the scientific value of the research, its originality, its methodology, the consistency of this methodology with the research topic, the quality of style and wording, the relevance of the research topic to the researcher's main specialization, adherence to the journal's publication rules, reaching valuable results in the scientific field, and avoiding anything that violates scientific integrity.

  16. The journal requires the researcher to make the amendments requested by the referees.
