The reviewer is left with only the manuscript without any information that might enable him/her uncovers the identity of the author(s).
A review certificate is issued to reviewers after the review of the manuscript.
The review reports are sent to the authors. If a manuscript requires improvement, it is sent to the author(s) with the editor’s recommendation for further revision.
