The vast majority of submissions would take around 4–8 weeks to issue a final decision; however, the process might take longer depending on a particular paper, which might take longer to have a final decision. For its first online appearance, the journal has two issues per year and depends on the waiting list of papers ready for publication. 

A manuscript, after submission and checking for research ethical issues, will be first-reviewed by a specialized editor, who decides whether or not this submission will be sent to expert reviewers in the paper's related field of study. The rejection rate of this editor review may exceed more than 30% due to various reasons, and those could be due to the novelty and quality of papers.
