The editorial office makes publication decisions by ensuring the reasonableness of its decision through consultation with leading industry experts as reviewers.

Considering peer review as a crucial element in ensuring the exchange of scientific information, the editorial board requires reviewers to maintain confidentiality, objectivity, impartiality, clarity and substantiation of their opinions, and respect for the principle of recognizing original sources.
