Manuscript Processing and Submission Closing

Dear Authors and Readers,

We would like to inform you that our journal is currently experiencing a very high volume of submissions. At present, hundreds of manuscripts are awaiting desk evaluation and peer review. As a result, both the initial screening process and the subsequent review stages may take longer than usual.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during this period. We fully recognize the time, effort, and trust that authors invest in submitting their work to our journal, and we remain committed to handling each manuscript with care, fairness, and academic rigor. Our editorial team is working diligently to manage the submissions as efficiently as possible while maintaining the quality and integrity of the review process.

To help us manage the current workload and ensure proper attention to manuscripts already in the system, the submission portal will be temporarily closed from 1 October to 30 November 2026. The portal will reopen on 1 December 2026. This temporary closure will allow our editorial team and reviewers to focus on the manuscripts currently under consideration and to manage the review process more effectively.

We are deeply grateful for the continued interest in our journal and for the confidence that scholars place in us as a venue for their research. Authors with ongoing submissions may rest assured that their manuscripts will continue to be processed during this period, although the review timeline may be longer than usual.

We encourage authors to submit new manuscripts once the submission portal reopens on 1 December 2026.

Thank you for your understanding, support, and continued contribution to our academic community.

Warm regards,
The Editorial Team
