Appeals Policy

Authors may appeal an editorial decision if they believe that a significant error occurred during the editorial or peer review process. Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Editorial Office with a clear explanation and supporting evidence.

The appeal will be reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief or an independent editor who was not 
involved in the original decision. The outcome of the appeal may include confirmation of the 
original decision or, where justified, reconsideration of the manuscript. The decision reached 
after the appeal review shall be final.
