The Selection Process
Once a draft article is received, the chief editor will consult with the executive editor and the managing editor to decide if the draft is consistent

If the draft is deemed reviewable, the chief editor in cooperation with editorial board members forms a paper selection committee.
The paper selection committee is composed of both inner-board members and outside expert(s) in order to review the article fairly and professionally.
The chief editor will contact the author and two reviewers in the course of reviewing the draft. If the reviewers recommend the publication of the article, it will be published in due course.
The chief editor fully respects the opinions of the reviewers.
The chief editor will only make a decision to publish or not publish when the reviewers are unable to come to a consensus.
