The peer-review decisions will be notified to the corresponding author. The author should re-submit the corrected manuscript, and attach another document explaining the recommended changes that were not made and why. The corrected manuscript will be submitted for a second review, and the attachment will be assessed by the Advisory Committee. The review of the corrected manuscript will not exceed 10 working days, then the paper will go to the editorial board for publication in the next volume. The papers that are not re-submitted within a three-month period will be removed from the journal's database. Authors who wish to withdraw their papers from the journal should send a signed written request to the Editorial Board, always before the acceptance date for publication.
