Within two weeks after the submission deadline, the editor-in-chief convenes the first editorial board meeting for review, which assigns three reviewers for each submission. The board will not appoint reviewers who have a personal or professional relationship with the author(s) (for example, mentoring relationships). The board also assesses book reviews, historical data, and research trend reports for inclusion in the relevant issue.

5) Final decision on acceptance/rejection for publication: The editor-in-chief convenes the second editorial board meeting for review within two weeks after the completion of the review, where the board makes the final decision based on the combination of the reviews.
