Peer Review Process

The review process is conducted using a double-blind peer review system.

First Rejection, a review process will be carried out by another reviewer. If it is rejected twice, the manuscript will be rejected. However, if the second reviewer recommends revision/accepts, then the editorial board may consider revision according to the editorial board meeting decision results.

Articles submitted to OPSI will be reviewed by a reviewer appointed by the editor according to their field of expertise.
