We select articles in keeping with these aims of the journal and on the basis of an objective and impartial assessment of the academic merit of the article, ensured by a careful peer-reviewing process. Well-researched articles with accurately presented original findings receive preference in the matter of publication. Plagiarism of any kind will lead to the rejection of the article submitted.
