                                                Rigorous peer review: one manuscript must be reviewed by at least two
                                                experts in this field. We will ensure high standards for the review process and
                                                subsequent publication by a team of efficient and professional reviewers and
                                                scientific editors.
                                                No publication fee: there would be absolutely no charge for publication.
                                                Rapid publication: we will ensure that accepted papers will be published in a
                                                short processing time (the average processing time: 61 days) with a high
                                                quality.
