Appeals and Complaints

The Editors-in-Chief are responsible for handling all complaints, appeals, or concerns related to authorship,  the peer-review process, including those arising after publication. They will gather information from all parties involved and recommend actions consistent with the ethical guidelines of the Committee on Publishing Ethics (COPE).

Submissions under review or publication process  may be put on hold until the matter is resolved. In cases where the Editors-in-Chief are directly involved in the complaint, the most senior member of the Editorial Board will take charge of the investigation and suggest an appropriate resolution.
