Appeals and Complaints

Appeals
Authors may appeal a decision on their submission if they feel it was unjust. To file an appeal, a letter must be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief within 10 days of the decision, outlining the grounds for the appeal and why the decision is considered unfair. The Editor-in-Chief will review all relevant materials related to the submission, may consult with the Associate Editor or Reviewers, and may appoint a new Reviewer to assess the submission before making a final decision. The Editor-in-Chief's decision will be final.

Complaints
For complaints about the Journal's policies, procedures, or the behavior of editorial staff, please email the Managing Editor or Editor-in-Chief with the details. All complaints submitted through the proper channels will be acknowledged, and the resolution will be communicated to the complainant. Complaints will be addressed as promptly as possible.
