• Reviewer Assignment (3–5 days): Two expert reviewers are invited;

• Review Stage (3–5 weeks): Reviewers provide reports and recommendations;

• Editorial Decision (within 1 week): Based on peer feedback, the editor decides: Accept / Minor Revisions / Major Revisions / Reject;

Accepted manuscripts proceed to the production stage.
