The decision from the Reviewers would be communicated to the author. The submitted papers may be accepted without revisions, or subject to revisions as suggested and re-refereeing before publication. Papers may be rejected on the basis of relevance or content. In the first two cases, the author will asked to make revisions, if necessary, and then re-submit. After final approval from the reviewers, the paper will be edited and proofread. The author may be contacted for editing advice in certain circumstances.
