The journal is preparing to be indexed in PubMed, PubMed Central, Google Scholar, DOAJ etc. Our goal is to help your research reach more people and maximize its impact, to the scientists, public and for the greater good of the society.

Our editorial process focuses on the robustness and validity of research under consideration, from methodological, analytical, statistical and ethical perspectives, rather than making subjective decisions on your manuscripts. We ensure whether the presented scientific data supports or refutes your hypotheses. Reviewers will assess the technical soundness and scientific validity of your methods, analysis and interpretation, all of which must be appropriate, properly conducted, ethically robust and fully supported by the data. We do not reject manuscripts based on novelty or simply because your results were negative and did not support your initial hypotheses.
