2. Review Process and Proof Read Typeset Version

All manuscripts are peer-reviewed by independent referees. The Editorial Board prescreens all manuscripts to decide whether a manuscript will be peer-reviewed or declined outright without going through the review process. This is to preserve the resources of available reviewers. Manuscripts declined upfront can be due to poorly written English, contents being out of the scope of the journal, deficiencies in manuscript format, similarity to previous publications, previous decline or withdrawal, banned author due to asserted plagiarism, or that its subject matter is not of interest to the Journal, which only publishes well-presented original contributions in Science/Technology.

To expedite the journal process, some manuscripts will be rejected after the review process. Some manuscripts will need revision. Some manuscripts will be typeset before acceptance. You may be required to proofread it once the typeset version is available. If there is no revision needed for the typeset version, please take no action and do not submit a file without any revision mark.

Only review comments with constructive suggestions will be made public to the authors. If some comments appear online, please do not send revisions via email. Kindly wait for Journal email notifications. The revision checklist will be available online when you are required to revise your manuscript.

Usually, the review process of the Journal takes 3-6 weeks. Some special cases may need more time.

3. Revision Process

When enough review inputs are received, you may be required to improve your manuscript according to the review comments. A final decision of acceptance or rejection will be made after receiving and evaluating your revised version together with additional new review inputs.

To expedite the process, the following files are required in this revision stage:

• The point-by-point answers to the reviewer's comments are in a separate file.
• A revised version with clearly marked revisions should be submitted in the stipulated time. Please mark revisions in a different color or indicate the page and line numbers where the revisions should be made. Revision marks will expedite the checking process by the editors or reviewers.
• If your paper has not been typeset, the whole revised article (PDF or DOC files) is recommended to expedite the typeset process.

Revisions are strongly advised to be submitted online. An acknowledgment email will be sent to the corresponding author immediately once the online revision checklist is successfully submitted. Email revision submission is NOT encouraged due to the unpredictability of emails. It will also delay the revision process.

4. Journal Final Proofread

After the revision process, the Editorial Board will recommend to the journal to publish your paper, based on considerations of relevance, review inputs, a time constraint for publication, etc.. If you do not like to publish your paper, you may choose to withdraw your manuscript. Any major revision in this Final Proofread stage will not be acceptable.

You are required to download the PDF file to proofread, check to see if there are additional review reports, and fill in the checklist within the stipulated time. The manuscript will not be scheduled until it is approved by the author.

Once it is scheduled, no changes can be made to the paper. If we do not receive a timely response, the paper may be withdrawn from the Journal.

5. Schedule Notice

The approved paper will be queued in the publication schedule. Once it is scheduled for publication, you will be informed as early as possible via email. Once a paper is approved and scheduled, it cannot be withdrawn.
