APPEALS AND COMPLAINTS

Authors have the opportunity to challenge an editorial decision if they believe it was made due to a significant misunderstanding of a core aspect of their manuscript, a failure to recognize its contribution to the literature, or concerns regarding the manuscript-handling process. Differences in opinion regarding the novelty or significance of the reported findings are not considered valid grounds for appeal. To initiate an appeal, please contact the journal via email and provide an explanation for your appeal. The appeal will be discussed by the entire editorial team at the next editorial meeting. The editor's decision following an appeal consideration is final.
