Once confirmed, the Editor-in-Chief (EiC), in coordination with the Senior Assistant, assigns the manuscript to the most appropriate of the six Section Editors. The designated Section Editor then selects a minimum of two independent peer reviewers. Based on the reviewers’ feedback and their own evaluation, the Section Editor recommends a decision: acceptance (often conditional upon major or minor revisions) or rejection. The final decision rests with the EiC, who reviews all documentation and co-signs the decision letter with the Section Editor. Resubmitted manuscripts undergo the same review procedure. Section Editors may also collaborate with a Deputy Section Editor as needed. Letters to the Editor that contain original data—as opposed to opinions or commentary—are also subjected to full peer review in accordance with standard policy.
