Publication and peer review processes

Submitted manuscripts will be sent for peer review, unless they are either out of the journal scope or below the journal threshold, or the presentation or written Farsi (Persian) is of an unacceptably low standard. They will generally be reviewed by two experts (blindly) with the aim of reaching a first decision as soon as possible. Reviewers are asked to declare any competing interests and have to agree to open peer review, which works on two levels: the authors receive the signed report and, if the manuscript is published, the same report is available to the readers.
