Author Instructions

Once it has passed the initial checks, our editorial team will assign your manuscript to the Editor-in-Chief, the Editor-in-
Chief will assign it to an Editorial Board member with relevant expertise, who will be responsible for managing the peer-
review process. Editor-in-Chief, as well as the Editorial Board members, may reject manuscripts that they deem highly
unlikely to pass peer review without further consultation.

9.3 Process
MRR operates a single-blind review process. The technical quality of the research described in the manuscript is assessed
by a minimum of three independent expert reviewers. The Academic Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding
acceptance or rejection of the manuscript. For controversial manuscripts, the Editor-in-Chief is responsible for making the
final decision.

9.4 Decisions
Your research will be judged on technical soundness only, not on its perceived impact as judged by Editors or referees.
There are three possible decisions: Accept (your study satisfies all publication criteria), Invitation to Revise (more work is
required to satisfy all criteria), and Reject (your study fails to satisfy key criteria and it is highly unlikely that further work
can address its shortcomings).
