Reviewers must adhere to the same high standards expected in scholarly publishing and perform their assessments in an ethical and responsible manner.

The final preparation of the manuscript, including formatting for the journal and forwarding galley proofs to the corresponding author for small edits, will follow a clear recommendation for publishing. The publication of the manuscript will occur upon final approval.

This policy aims to ensure the integrity and quality of the scholarly record, in keeping with wider community expectations and norms, and highlights the journal's commitment to ethical peer review.
