           8.1.2. Publishing ethics
           All manuscripts submitted to Vessel Plus are screened using iThenticate powered by CrossCheck to identify any plagiarized
           content. Your study must also meet all ethical requirements as outlined in our Editorial Policies. If the manuscript does not
           pass any of these checks, we may return it to you for further revisions or decline to consider your study for publication.

           8.2. Editorial assessment
           Once your manuscript has passed the initial manuscript check, it will be assigned to an Assistant Editor, and then the
           Editor-in-Chief, or an Associate Editor in the case of a conflict of interest, will be notified of the submission and invited to
           review. Regarding Special Issue paper, after passing the initial check, the manuscript will be successively assigned to an
           Assistant Editor, Guest Editor, and then to the Editor-in-Chief, or an Associate Editor in the case of conflict of interest for
           the Editor-in-Chief to review. The Editor-in-Chief, or the Associate Editor may reject manuscripts that they deem highly
           unlikely to pass peer review without further consultation. Once your manuscript has passed the editorial assessment, the
           Assistant Editor will start to organize peer-review.

           8.3. Process
           Vessel Plus operates a single-blind review process. The technical quality of the research described in the manuscript is
           assessed by a minimum of two independent expert reviewers. The Editor-in-Chief 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.

           8.4. 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).
